To consider the attached report of the Senior Policy Planning Officer (Planning, Regeneration and Development).

The Head of Planning, Development and Regeneration presented the Dover District Council Local Development Scheme (LDS).

Members were advised that the latest LDS superseded the Council’s previous LDS that was published in December 2020. It had been updated to take into account changes to the preparation, consultation and adoption of the District Local Plan and Conservation Area Character Appraisals.

The application for additional costs was to cover the cost of the inspection and based on a worst case scenario. The Council set aside reserves for this purpose and drew down from the reserves as needed.
