Issue details

Following the completion of the Examination in Public into the Local

Plans, the appointed Planning Inspectors have concluded that, subject to a series of recommended modifications, the Plans provide an appropriate basis for the planning of the Forest Heath District.

The Cabinets will be asked to recommend to Forest Heath District Council that Members agree to the adoption of the Forest Heath Core Strategy Single Issue Review: Policy CS7 Overall Housing Provision and Distribution and the Forest Heath Site Specific Allocations Local Plan.

UPDATE:

This item is subject to a new timeline for approval due to the following reason:

The Inspectors are not in a position to issue the Inspectors Report into the SIR and SALP until the Council has provided a considered response to the opinion that has been submitted by the Newmarket Horseman’s Group.  This will require an update to the Habitat Regulations Assessment.  The update may lead to modifications to the SIR and SALP as currently written in order to ensure that adequate protections are in place. This is expected to be completed and submitted to the Inspectors by March 2019.
