Report DRR15/021

Members considered the revised Local Development Scheme (LDS) for 2015/16 which set out the timescale for the preparation of the Local Plan for the Borough.

The current legislative requirements for the LDS only include the development plan documents (DPD) which are subject to independent examination which for Bromley would be the Local Plan.  Supplementary Planning Documents were not included in the formal LDS.  It did however, provide an indicative timescale for the preparation of a Local Community Infrastructure Levy.

It was reported that a vast amount of work had gone into developing the Local Plan and a lot of work still remained to be undertaken.  It was anticipated that the Local Plan would be completed by 2016.

The Chairman moved that the recommendations be approved; this was seconded by Councillor Buttinger.

RESOLVED that the Executive be recommended to approve the revised Local Development Scheme as the formal management document for the production of the Bromley Local Plan.
