That the Cabinet Member
approves:

 

    the updated, ‘Standing Advice
for Local Planning Authorities’ and for the Highways
Development Control Service to publish and apply that advice in its
undertakings with all relevant authorities across Derbyshire;
and

 

    to delegate authority to the
Executive Director – Place to undertake any further updates
to the Standing Advice document, reflecting changes in local and
nation policy as required.

Reasons for the decision

To ensure the Council continues to
make best use of limited available resources and supports the
application of appropriate standards in the consideration of
proposed small scale developments. 

 

Alternative options considered

Option 1: Continue with current
guidance, recognising that there will be some discrepancies when
the Planning Streets and Places design guide comes into operation.
Given the potential for confusion in the application of advice or
preferred standards, this is not considered a viable
option.

 

Option 2: Revoke the former
guidance to prevent any conflict. To withdraw any standing advice
would result in all applications being considered by the Highways
DC Service and would not aid the best use of limited resources. It
is therefore not considered a viable option.
