Brief Description of Decision:

To approve the Sites and Policies Document Five Year Review and its publication on the Council’s website.

Reasons for the Decision:

Local Planning Authorities are required by legislation to review Local Plan documents at least every five years from the date of adoption, and to decide either that their policies do not need updating, or that one or more policies do need updating.

Publishing the Council’s five year review of the Sites and Policies Document will inform the public and stakeholders that the document does not need updating at this time.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

The five year review concludes that an update to the Sites and Policies document is not required. An alternative option to update that document is therefore not appropriate at this time.
