Minutes:

Councillor Vincent, Cabinet Member for Environment, introduced the Shopping Centres Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

 

This report related to the adoption of the Shopping Centres SPD. It was reported that –

(b)  the SPD would make sure that shops and key services were maintained in centres, and would set a framework for future improvements;

 

(c)   shopping centres were crucial in vulnerable communities and contributed to community cohesion and the provision of essential services;

(d)  the draft consultation was subject to consultation in early 20 I I, and the SPD had been updated to incorporate findings of a recent shopping study and updates to sustainable neighbourhoods information.

 

(e)  the next stage would be the formal adoption of the SPD as part of the Local Development Framework.

 

Councillor Vincent moved the recommendations outlined in the report, with a further recommendation as detailed at (4) below.

 

The Cabinet agreed to –

 

(1)  recommend to Full Council that the Shopping Centres Supplementary Planning Document First Review be formally adopted;

 

(2)  delegate authority to the Assistant Director of Development (Planning Services) to approve the final publication version of the Supplementary Planning Document;
