Issue - meetings

To seek approval of an updated Local Development Scheme (LDS). The LDS sets out the timetable for preparing development plan documents which includes the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan.

The current Local Development Scheme was approved in October 2019. The Secretary of State had requested that all authorities submit an updated timetable for producing an up-to-date Local Plan to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.  The authorities involved in the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan had, therefore all updated their LDS to reflect the timetable for producing the Greater Nottingham Strategic Plan. The LDS had also been updated to reflect other development plan documents including Neighbourhood Plans.

RESOLVED that the updated Local Development Scheme be approved.

Reason

There is a requirement to produce a Local Development Scheme under Section 15 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended).
