Minerals & Waste Local Plan (MWLP) Consultation

Decision Maker: Cabinet member Infrastructure and transport

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To approve the draft MWLP development plan document (appendices A to C) for pre-submission publication, in accordance with regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

Decision:

 

That:

a)    the draft MWLP development plan document be approved for pre-submission consultation;

b)   authority be delegated to the Assistant Director for Regulation, Environment and Waste, following consultation with the Cabinet Member Infrastructure and Transport, to make any minor technical, textual or graphical amendments required to the draft MWLP and supporting documents, before pre-submission consultation begins; and

c)    authority be delegated to the Assistant Director for Regulation, Environment and Waste, following consultation with the Cabinet Member Infrastructure and Transport, to make any minor technical, textual or graphical amendments required to the draft MWLP and supporting documents, after the pre-submission consultation and prior to approval being sought from Council for submission of the MWLP to the Secretary of State for independent examination.

 

 

Alternative options considered:

1.         Not to progress the MWLP would leave the council in a position where the extant Unitary Development Plan policies are out of date. This would be contrary to the recommendation of the Core Strategy's inspector, who stated that a separate MWLP should be prepared in accordance with the local development scheme. When adopted, this will form part of the Herefordshire Local Plan.

 

2.         Not to delegate authority to make necessary and minor amendments is not recommended because it would be impracticable to await a further meeting with the Cabinet Member to address such matters.

Reason Key: Strategic nature / impact on communities;

Wards Affected: (All Wards);

Details of any declarations of interest: None
