Minutes:

The Group Manager Development reported on an update on the preparation of the evidence base for the Bridgend Local Development Plan. 

 

He stated that the development plan is at the heart of the planning system with a requirement set in law that planning decisions must be taken in line with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise.  He informed the Committee that Plans set out a vision and a framework for the future development of the area, addressing needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the economy, community facilities and infrastructure  as well as a basis for conserving and enhancing the natural and historic environment, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and achieving well designed places.  It was essential that plans are in place and kept up to date and that the foundation of a Local Development Plan is a robust evidence base, which involves gathering a significant body of evidence that is relevant and focussed on the key issues the plan is seeking to address.

 

He reported that a number of supporting technical documents have been prepared to identify the key issues and challenges facing the County Borough and inform the preparation of the Replacement Local Development Plan.  These evidence base documents and background papers were listed in the report along with their role and purpose.  He stated that this was not a definitive list and additional evidence base update requirements will emerge as the plan revision progresses.

 

RESOLVED:       That the Committee noted the contents of the evidence based documents and background papers attached as appendices 1 to 30.
