The Assistant Director of Planning and Public Protectionpresented a report which asked Executive to consider the responses received to consultation on the Publication Draft Local Plan (the Plan) and decide whether to recommend that Council approve the Plan for submission to the Secretary of State for examination.

 

Executive had approved the Plan for statutory Regulation 19 consultation on 25 January 2018 (Minute 112 of that meeting refers) and consultation had taken place between 21 February and 4 April.  Representations made during that period would be considered by an independent Inspector along with the Plan, once Council had decided it was ready for submission.  The Plan had been made available online as Annex A to the report; associated documents were also attached as annexes.  The minutes of the Local Plan Working Group (LPWG), which had considered the Plan on 2 May, were circulated at the meeting.

 

As requested by LPWG, Officers clarified that delegated decisions involving material changes to the Plan would be taken back to Executive.  Minor changes approved under the proposed delegated powers would be published and treated as key decisions. They also circulated proposed minor modifications to Annex G to address concerns raised at LPWG on the status of public houses as community facilities.

 

After a full debate, during which Executive Members expressed their support for the Plan and the need for York to set its own Local Plan for the good of the city, it was

 

Resolved:  (i)      That the representations received on the Publication Draft Local Plan (Regulation 19) be noted.

 

                   (ii)      That the minor modifications to Annex G circulated at the meeting, to include public houses within the definition of ‘community facilities’ within paragraph 6.5 of the supporting text to policy HW1 (Protecting Existing Facilities) in Annex A, be approved.
