RESOLVED
DECISION TAKEN:
Cabinet endorsed the approach
to Masterplanning Guidance and
delegated authority to the Assistant Director (Planning) in
consultation with the Executive Director for Planning to make minor
updates to the guidance if required.
 
 
REASON FOR THE
DECISION:
Policy SP 9 of the Welwyn
Hatfield Local Plan (adopted October 2023) requires that a
comprehensive approach is taken to the development of large or
complex sites. This is to be achieved through the production of a
masterplan. By outlining principles and requirements for
development, a masterplan document sets a template for guiding
development and helps ensure sites are delivered in a comprehensive
and well-planned manner. If endorsed or adopted by Council, the
masterplan becomes a material consideration when determining
planning applications.
