Decision:
Resolved
(1) That the draft Submission Local Plan be endorsed and recommended to Full Council for approval, subject to the Final Sustainability Appraisal being presented at Full Council.
(2) That it be noted that the Infrastructure tables in the draft Local Pan would be replaced in due course by a full Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) for submission.
(3) That it be recommended to Full Council that authority be delegated to the Head of Strategic Planning and the Economy, in consultation with the Lead Member for Planning, to make minor changes to the draft Submission Local Plan text to delete the references to 'draft' or 'emerging' Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) once the IDP is finalised.
Minutes:
The Head of Strategic Planning and the Economy submitted a report which sought consideration of the draft Submission Local Plan for Cherwell.
In introducing the report, the Lead Member for Planning explained that the report updated Members on the preparation of the draft Submission Local Plan, reviewed the Sustainability Appraisal, Viability Assessment, the development of the evidence base, representations received, the draft Submission Local Plan itself and the next steps.
The Lead Member for Planning advised that the final iteration of the Sustainability Appraisal was nearing completion and, subject to the resolution of Executive, the final version would be presented to Full Council. The Infrastructure tables in the Local Plan would be replaced in due course by a full Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP).
Councillor Woodcock, Leader of Labour Group, addressed Executive and commented that he was very impressed with the comprehensive document and consultation which had provided useful feedback.
Councillor Emptage, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, addressed Executive and commended the Lead Member for Planning and officers for their hard work throughout the process. Councillor Emptage advised Executive that Kidlington Parish Council continued to have issues regarding the provision of housing in Kidlington and queried the status of the Kidlington Masterplan in relation to the Local Plan.
The Head of Strategic Planning and the Economy explained that the Local Plan was a snapshot in time which focussed on strategic policies and sites and it was recommended there be no revisions at this time. It was confirmed that the Kidlington Masterplan process would include an assessment of housing. A Local Neighbourhoods DPD was being developed which would look at sites with less than 400 houses.
At the discretion of the Chairman, Councillor Sibley addressed Executive and raised a number of queries in relation to Bicester and Graven Hill each of which was duly responded to.
