Purpose

To consider the report of the Cabinet Member
for Economic Development seeking approval for the proposed update
to the Local Development Scheme (LDS) and for delegated powers to
be issued to the Head of Transport and Planning to enable swifter
update of the LDS in the future to ensure it is kept up-to-date, in
accordance with Section 15 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase
Act 2004 (as amended).

Decision

(i)  To
resolve that the updated Local Development Scheme (Appendix 1) is
to have effect on 3rd March 2025.
(ii)  In the event
provisions from the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act come into
force, to grant delegated powers to the Director of Transport and
Planning to produce the local plan timetable in substantially the
same terms as the updated LDS and to maintain and make future
updates (to reflect progress on the Local Plan) in consultation
with the cabinet lead.
