    Minutes:

    The Chair informed Committee Members that any site visits would take place on the morning of 5 January 2024.

     

    A point of information was outlined by the Planning Applications Manager:

     

    “The government today published both a revised NPPF and the 2022 results of the Housing Delivery Test. The update to the NPPF removes the requirement for a 5 year supply of housing land to be demonstrated for authorities with a local plan less than 5 years old. However, the 2022 results of the housing delivery test (looking at the completions for 3years up to 31st March 2022, at the requirement of the local plan for delivery factoring in a covid discount on that requirement) show that the district has delivered 71% of the housing need in that period. This means that the tilted balance outlined as the new paragraph 11 of the NPPF would be engaged for any decision that Council issues tomorrow on the applications for housing being discussed tonight. Therefore for items 3A, 3B and 3C, all for housing, the Council should grant permission unless any adverse impacts of doing so would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits, when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole. Therefore the recommendation for items 3A, 3B and 3C are not updated.”
