Decision

Summary of Decision

That the Cabinet Member for Planning and Economic Development agrees to formally adopt the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (POAH SPD) as a Local Development Document.

Reasons for Decision

To meet the requirements of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.

Adopting the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (POAH SPD) will give it full weight as a material consideration in decisions on planning applications.
