The Joint Committee received this report which requested the adoption of a revised Local Development Scheme (LDS) (as set out in Working Paper 1) as a timetable for the preparation of the West Suffolk Local Plan.
A review of the existing Forest Heath and St Edmundsbury Local Plans was now required to meet the Councils’ ambitions and to safeguard communities from speculative unsustainable growth/development in the wrong locations and without the necessary strategic infrastructure. The Local Plan would provide a positive, flexible and deliverable planning policy framework for West Suffolk.
Before starting work on the West Suffolk Local Plan, the Councils’ had reviewed and updated the LDS, which set out what Development Plan documents were to be produced, their subject matter and broad timetable for their preparation including consultation, examination and adoption of the Plan in May 2023.
RECOMMENDED TO SEBC AND FHDC COUNCILS:
(18 and 19 December 2018)
That the West Suffolk Local Development Scheme (LDS), as set out in Working Paper 1 to Report No: CAB/JT/18/054, be adopted.
