Issue - meetings

As a consequence of an amendment to Town and Country (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, a local planning authority was required to review a local development document every five years, including the local plan and the statement of community involvement.

The Council was advised that a review of the Core Strategy had been undertaken in light of the revised regulations.  The review had concluded that there was no immediate need to modify the Core Strategy either in part or as a whole.

RESOLVED

That  (i)    the review of the Woking Core Strategy included in Appendix 1 to the report be approved;

          (ii)   the Woking Core Strategy continue to be up to date for the purposes of managing development across the Borough;

          (iii) the details of the review be published on the Council’s website as soon as it is reasonable to do so after Council’s approval; and

          (iv) authority be delegated to the Deputy Chief Executive, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning, to approve any minor changes to the review to reflect new information, including any national guidance before it is published.
