BURY LOCAL PLAN - CORE STRATEGY - SECOND DRAFT PUBLICATION
|
Delegated decision:
That approval be given to the Second Draft Publication Core Strategy, and the supporting documentation, together with the proposed measures outlined in the report submitted to receive representations.
Reasons for the decision: The approval of the Second Draft Publication of the Core Strategy is an important stage in the production of the Core Strategy for Burys Local Plan and it is necessary to ensure that all interested parties have an opportunity to play a part in this process. The preparation of and consultation on a draft version of the document will enable any necessary changes to be made prior to proceeding to a final Publication version at which stage there is limited scope for making changes.
Other option considered and rejected: That Cabinet seek revisions to the proposed content of the Second Draft Publication Core Strategy prior to further consultations and participation and/or Cabinet seek revisions to the proposed measures for undertaking consultation and participation. Cabinet is to specify the nature of any revisions to be sought.

CA.386 |
BURY LOCAL PLAN - LOCAL DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
|
Delegated decisions: 1. That approval be given to the Local Development Scheme (October 2012) and that it shall have effect from 10 October 2012 and be published on the Councils website.
2. That approval be given to authorise the Executive Director of Environment and Development Services in consultation with the Executive Member for Neighbourhoods and Regeneration to make any future timetable amendments as necessary (including on the direction of the Secretary of State) together with any changes to the document content of the Local Development Scheme, and to resolve the date from which such amendments shall have effect.
Reason for the decision: The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) requires Local Planning Authorities to prepare and maintain a scheme to be known as their Local Development Scheme (LDS). The approval of the revised LDS will ensure that this requirement is complied with and the LDS is up-to-date. The delegated authority for revisions is considered necessary to allow for amendments to the timetable and contents of the LDS.
Other option considered and rejected: That Cabinet seek revisions to the proposed Local Development Scheme. Cabinet to specify the nature of any revisions to be sought.

CA.387 |
DEVELOPMENT OF STRATEGIC TENANCY POLICY FOR THE BOROUGH
|
Delegated decisions:
1. That approval be given to a formal consultation on the draft Strategic Tenancy Policy.
2. That a report summarising the consultation responses and providing a final draft of the Strategic Tenancy Policy be submitted to Cabinet on 19 December 2012. Reasons for the decision: Under the Localism Act 2011, all local authorities in England are required to produce and publish a Strategic Tenancy Policy for their area by 13 January 2012. Proceeding to consultation at this stage does not commit the Council to this Policy. The Council may amend any part of the Policy in light of consultation. Other option considered and rejected: Do nothing. The Council would fail in its statutory duty to produce and publish a Strategic Tenancy Policy by 13 January 2013.

CA.388 |
REVIEW OF HOUSING ALLOCATIONS POLICY
|
Delegated decisions: 1. That approval be given to consult on an updated draft Allocations Policy as detailed in the report submitted.
2. That a report summarising the consultation responses be submitted together with the revised draft Allocations Policy to a future meeting of the Cabinet for decision to replace the current Allocations Policy.
Reasons for the decision: This decision works toward a fully compliant document that guides the effective and efficient allocation of properties in line with housing needs and Localism Act.
Other option considered and rejected: Do nothing. The Allocations Policy would not be compliant with legislation and leave the Council open to challenge.
|
CA.389 |
PLAN FOR CHANGE - DESTINATION MANAGEMENT
|
Delegated decisions:
1. That approval be given to consult on proposals about how the council can support destination management in the future. The consultation will invite comments from stakeholders on the proposals for a new Destination Management function for the council.
2. That it be noted that a final report, noting the comments and suggestions as a result of the consultation exercise, will be submitted in due course for approval. At that time employees will be fully consulted in accordance with the agreed procedures in respect of any implications related to their employment conditions. Reasons for the decision: The Plan for Change provides a starting point for the Council to consider the efficiency and effectiveness of the services it provides. Other option considered and rejected: To reject the recommendation. (Note: Councillor Gartside voted against the decision.)
