Minutes:
The Executive Member Planning and Development, Councillor Alistair Morwood, presented the report of the Director of Planning and Property.
The report outlined the Council’s performance in the determination of planning applications, both as delegated decisions and those decided by Planning Committee and explained the Council’s designation by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) for underperforming in the quality of decisions on Major applications. It also sought approval of an Action Plan aimed at having the designation removed.
Members noted the need to move forwards with this and stressed the importance of adopting the new Local Plan.
The Executive Member Planning and Development, Councillor Alistair Morwood, proposed and the Deputy Portfolio Holder, Councillor Alex Hilton seconded, and it was Resolved (unanimously) Approval of the Action Plan for formal adoption.
