Minutes:

The Policy and Projects Manager presented the Dover District Council Local Development Scheme report. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) placed a statutory duty on the Council to maintain an up-to-date Local Development Scheme (LDS). The LDS set out the project timetable to produce the Council’s Local Plan.

 

In response to questions from Members, the Head of Planning, Regeneration and Development advised that the report was based on the required statutory processes.

 

Councillor T A Bond proposed that all Members have access to the list of RAG (Red, Amber, Green) sites with the supporting paperwork prior to the sites going to public consultation. The Head of Planning, Regeneration and Development advised that there would be ward based meetings with District Councillors and Parish Councils to discuss the sites proposed to go to consultation under Regulation 18.

 

The advantages of holding a series of informal briefing meetings for Members on the full list of RAG sites prior to any consultation was discussed. This would be structured on a ward basis over a series of three meetings held after 20 January 2020.   

 

RESOLVED: That it be recommended to the Cabinet:

 

(a)          That the Local Development Scheme be accepted.

 

(b)          That, prior the town and parish councils being briefed on the proposed site allocations and the Local Plan PAG making a decision on the final ‘RAG’ (Red, Amber, Green) status of sites, a series of 3 informal briefing meetings, structured by area, are held for Members.
