(R&E) Bassetlaw Local Plan: Statements of Common Ground

 

 

Local planning authorities have a statutory “duty to cooperate” with other relevant bodies in order to encourage and enable strategic planning. In preparing their Local Plan, Bassetlaw have identified a number of strategic and cross boundary issues on which agreement is sought with Rotherham and a number of other Councils.

 

As a result, Bassetlaw Council has prepared two Statements of Common Ground to support submission of its Local Plan for examination on:

-       Bassetlaw Local Plan

-       A1 corridor specifically regarding the Apleyhead Junction Strategic Employment site allocation

There are some implications for Rotherham arising from the Statements which will be detailed in the report.

 

Being a signatory to the Statement will benefit Rotherham in demonstrating how the Council has cooperated on strategic issues and identifies outstanding areas of disagreement.

 

The recommendation is that the Council be a signatory to the Bassetlaw Local Plan Statement of Common Ground and A1 Corridor Statement of Common Ground.
