Further to Minute No. 62 of the meeting of the Planning Regulatory Board held on 16th February, 2017, consideration was given to a report of the Assistant Director of Planning, Regeneration and Transport concerning the proposal to make the Gullivers Valley (Rotherham) Local Development Order 2017.  A copy of the draft Order was appended to the submitted report.

The report referred to the Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 which modified the Planning Acts to simplify the Local Development Order process by removing the requirement for the Local Planning Authority to submit the Order to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, before adoption, for consideration of whether to intervene. This process was instead replaced by a requirement to notify the Secretary of State as soon as practicable after adoption.

The implications of the Order for the development of the Gulliver’s Theme Park, as well as the details of the consultation process about the Order, were included within the submitted report. Members noted that the draft Order had been amended in the light of comments received during the consultation process.

Resolved:- (1) That the report be received and its contents noted.

(2) That the Gullivers Valley (Rotherham) Local Development Order 2017 be adopted as amended and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government be notified of its adoption as soon as practicable.

There were no items to report.
