To seek the resolution of Cabinet to adopt the amended Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Strategic Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

Cabinet considered the resolution to adopt the amended Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Strategic Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document.

The Council, in conjunction with the emerging East Midlands Development Corporation (EM DevCo CLG) had prepared a supplementary planning document for the Toton and Chetwynd Barracks sites. The plan had been considered by Members at the Policy Working Group and had been deferred previously at Cabinet until publication of the inspector’s comments from the examination of the Toton and Chetwynd Neighbour plan that covered a similar geographical area. It was considered that no further amendment of the supplementary planning document was required. However, further discussions would continue to take place with Toton and Chetwynd Neighbourhood Forum, in order to modify the Neighbourhood plan.

Members wished for it to be noted that the Officers working on the supplementary planning document had been very responsive and it had been an interactive process.

RESOLVED that the Toton and Chetwynd Barracks Strategic Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document, as amended, be adopted.

Reason

Legislation in relation to the preparation of Supplementary Planning Documents was set out within the Town and Country Planning (Local planning) (England)Regulations 2012. Regulation 11 provided any person with sufficient interest in the decision to adopt a Supplementary Planning Document may apply to the High Court for permission to apply for judicial review of that decision; any such application must be made promptly and in any event not later than 3 months after the date on which the Supplementary Planning Document was adopted. The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmed Regulations 2004 (as amended) prohibit the adoption of plans, programmes or modifications before a determination had been made as to whether it was likely to have significant environmental effects. the regulations required that the Environment Agency, Historic England and Natural England were consulted on this.
