Decision details

Councillor David Jones, Leader of the Council submitted a report setting out details of the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD)

6.  The document provides more detailed guidance to support Unitary Development Plan Policy H2/3 and sets out a range of requirements for alterations and extensions to residential properties.

Since the current version of SPD6 was adopted, there has been changes to procedures, design standards, legislation and national planning policy which need to be reflected in the Supplementary Planning Document.

Members are therefore being asked to approve the updated version of SPD6 for a four-week period of consultation in order to establish stakeholder views on its content. Following consultation, all representations received will be fully considered and changes made where appropriate.

Delegated decision:

Other options considered and rejected:

Option 2

That Members seek revisions to the proposed content of the updated SPD6 report prior to consultation and/or Members seek revisions to the proposed measures for undertaking consultation - Members to specify the nature of any revisions to be sought.
