PDF 114 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To consider the report of the Cabinet Member
for Growth seeking approval of, and to publish, the updated version
of the Local Development Scheme (LDS), including revised
Southampton City Vision timetable.
Decision:
(i) To resolve that the revised Local Development Scheme (Appendix 1) is to have effect from 21st December 2021.
(ii) To delegate authority to the Head of Planning and Economic Development, following consultation with the Cabinet Member for Growth, to make minor amendments to ‘Preparing our Development Plans’ before publication.
Reasons for the decision:
To ensure that Southampton City Council is providing an up-to-date position regarding the development and update of planning documents, including an accurate timeline for the production of the Southampton City Vision Local Plan.
Alternative options considered:
Do nothing – This option was rejected as leaving the LDS as it currently is would suggest that the details contained within it are still up to date and accurate, which they are not. The Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan is further advanced, and this should be acknowledged, likewise the Bassett Neighbourhood Plan is in need of review now that five years have passed since adoption, plus the timetable for the Southampton City Vision Local Plan is now out of date and needs updating for the purposes of transparency to the public and Government monitoring.
