Anthony Payne, Director for Place, will submit a written report on the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document Second review and will ask Cabinet to recommend the document to Full Council for adoption.

Minutes:

Councillor Vincent, Cabinet Member for Environment, introduced a report on the adoption of the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). It was reported that the main driver for the review of the SPD was the introduction of the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). Rules for planning obligations had been changed by national legislation and as such the SPD needed to be updated to reflect these changes, the main changes being proposed were -

 

(a)   that the Plymouth Development Tariff comes to an end and is replaced by CIL;

 

(b)  that planning obligations would still be used to secure financial contributions to infrastructure that CIL does not help fund, but this would be limited to the cases which were lawfully permitted;

 

The affordable housing provisions had been updated to reflect the new National Planning Policy Framework and the draft was subject to consultation in early 2012. The next stage is the formal adoption of the SPD as part of the Local Development Framework. In response to Questions it was reported that –

 

(a)   the section 106 process had been subject to review by the Devon Audit Partnership and a report could be published;

 

(b)  the Growth and Prosperity overview and Scrutiny Panel had added the section 106 process to their future work programme;

 

(c)   work was being undertaken by the constitutional working group with regard to the member involvement in the section 106

 

This is related and there is a separate piece of work ongoing with constitutional working group to address this and hope to report to next full council,

 

The Cabinet agreed to –

 

(1)  approve the Planning Obligations & Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document Second review and recommend to Full Council that the SPD be formally adopted;

 

(2)  delegate authority to the Assistant Director for Planning to approve the final publication version of the SPD;

 

(3)  instruct the officers to implement as soon as practicable all the statutory procedures associated with the adoption process.
