The Cabinet considered a report on a revised version of the Local Development Scheme.

It was noted that the scheme updated the programme of preparation of planning policy documents and reflected the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 and National Planning Policy Framework.

It was reported that the most significant change from the previous document was the inclusion of an extra phase of consultation to consider the request under the duty to cooperate from Redditch Borough Council to accommodate the growth which cannot be delivered sustainably within the Borough.

RECOMMENDED:

(a)       that the report be noted including the proposed amendments to the Local Development Scheme.

(b)       that Appendix A be approved as Bromsgrove District Council’s forthcoming programme for planning policy documents from 26th September 2012.
