Reporting Person – Giorgio Framalicco

The Executive received a report which sought approval for the Outlook, Amenity and Daylight Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) to be published for public engagement and consultation.  It was noted that the current SPD had been adopted in 2008 and was being reviewed to bring it up to date to reflect changes in national policy and policies of the development plan.  The Executive was advised that, when the SPD was adopted, it would be a material consideration in determining planning applications and other planning decisions.  Councillor Elson drew attention to the amendments suggested by the Local Development Framework Working Group at its meeting on 22 July 2021.

Following a request for the consultation documents to highlight what had been changed, the Portfolio Holder agreed to speak to Officers to see if that could be incorporated.
