ANGLESEY AND GWYNEDD JOINT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN PDF 327 KB To consider the Joint Local Development Plan as amended by the Inspector’s binding changes and to make a decision regarding its adoption. Additional documents:
Minutes: Submitted – the
report by the Cabinet Member for the Environment, recommending that the Council
approved the Joint Local Development Plan as amended by the Inspector's binding
changes. An
explanation was given of the content of the report and attention was drawn to
an error in the map of Llanrug in the paper version. He explained that the
report was detailed and confirmed that it satisfied and complied with the
legislative requirements (Planning Act (Wales) 2015, Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004,
Town and Country Planning (Local Development Plans) Regulations 2005, Planning
Policy Wales and the Local Development Plan Manual (2015)). Adopting the Plan
would set out detailed policies to manage developments up to 2026; facilitating
the provision of new developments needed to meet the needs of local
communities; enabling the Council to achieve its housing and economic
development strategies. Refusing would leave the Authority without an adequate
plan or policies to protect the County's lands and would give Developers an
opportunity to appeal against a decision to refuse based on the fact that a
Plan / Policies were not in place. It was highlighted
that, based on local evidence, the Plan's housing policies were planning for
3712 houses for the Gwynedd Planning Authority area between 2011 and 2026. With
the Plan already in its sixth year, it was confirmed that this figure included
homes which have already been built or which have received planning permission.
The residual figure for the remainder of the Plan period will be 1366 which is
an average of 137 new homes a year. When comparing the
old strategy with the new Plan, it was reported that the old strategy tended to
focus on large development within our towns but that this plan now focused on
smaller allocations. Attention was also drawn to the pioneering policies which
had been included in the Plan. It was proposed and seconded that the
Council:
i.
adopted the Gwynedd and Anglesey Joint Local
Development Plan 2011 to 2026 as amended by the changes recommended by the
Inspector in his report about the Examination (dated 30 June 2017)
ii.
published the adopted Plan, the Adoption Statement,
the final SA/SEA Report and the HRA report
iii.
gave delegated powers to
officers to correct any typing and grammatical errors, deal with any minor
matters or errors, as well as any other necessary presentational matters and
consequential changes (which are required in response to recommended changes in
accordance with paragraph 1.10 in the Inspector’s report), before publishing
the final Gwynedd and Anglesey Joint Local Development Plan
iv.
that the Supplementary
Planning Guidance, which were adopted to support policies in the existing
development plans, continue to be material planning consideration in
determining planning applications, where appropriate, until they were
superseded or were withdrawn. In
response to concerns voiced to him that the new supplementary planning guidance
intended to be established were not adequately reflected in the proposal, the
Cabinet Member proposed to add clause v to the recommendation to address this,
namely v. That ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |
