Minutes:

Cabinet received a report on a revised Local Development Scheme for approval, which is a statutory requirement of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.  Cabinet was referred to the principal amendments which included the adoption of the Unitary Development Plan and the demise of the Structure/Local Plans and the deletion of the Development Plan Document (DPD) as a result of discussions with Government Office, the Planning Inspectorate and the Planning Advisory Service.  In the future reference is to be made to national and regional planning policies setting out key policies within the Core Strategy.  This will include a new Hereford Area Action Plan taking forward Hereford City’s growth point status and further DPDs addressing the market towns and rural areas with the intention of greater emphasis on ‘place shaping’. 

 

Cabinet was advised that a Planning Delivery Grant had been awarded of £173k with an indication for a future grant of £218k.  Priority setting needed to be done for the growth areas.  West Midland transport priorities were significant to the Hereford Area Action Plan.  Herefordshire was also in line for rural funding with some areas getting capital funding with the potential for significant funding for the future. 

RESOLVED That the revised Local Development Scheme be approved and have effect from 31 January 2008.
