Local List for Validating Planning Applications
Decision Maker: Elected Mayor
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
That the reviewed Local List for Validating Planning Applications for formal publication set out at Appendix 1 to this record of decision be approved.
Reasons for the decision:
The Council’s adopted Local List was published in 2015. In accordance with the national planning guidance, this document has now been reviewed with changes being proposed to reflect developments in the referenced planning policies, legislation and other guidance. Whilst these changes are not considered to be substantive, and do not alter the requirements of the existing document, the re-publication of the Local List requires the authorisation of the Elected Mayor.
Alternative options considered:
None
Implementation:
This decision may be implemented immediately.
Information:
The Local List establishes the information that the Council requires applicants to submit in support of their planning and other applications, which are assessed and determined by the Local Planning Authority. The requirements set out in the Local List must be justified by the Council’s adopted Local Plan, along with national planning policy and guidance, and relevant planning legislation. Since the current Local List was published in 2015, a number of the planning policies and legislation it refers to have changed.
It is a requirement of Paragraph 44 of the National Planning Policy Framework (July, 2018) that Local Planning Authorities review their Local Lists at least every two years. The Council’s list has now undergone a review. Modifications were proposed to reflect changes to the associated planning policies, legislation and other guidance.
