Report DRR15/110

The Local Development Scheme (LDS) 2015/17 outlined the revised timescale for preparing the Local Plan.

The LDS included the development plan documents (DPD) subject to independent examination. For L B Bromley this comprised the borough-wide Local Plan and review of the Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan following adoption of the Local Plan. The LDS also outlined an indicative timescale for preparing a local Community Infrastructure Levy and a new Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

When adopted, the Local Plan, along with the London Plan and the Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan, would form the Development Plan for the Borough, setting out policies against which to consider planning applications.

RESOLVED that the Local Development Scheme for 2015-17 as set out at Appendix 1 to Report DRR15/110 be agreed as the formal management document for production of the Bromley Local Plan.

Report DRR15/110

Members considered an amended Local Development Scheme (LDS) for 2015/17 which set out a revised timescale for the preparation of the Local Plan for the Borough.  It also showed an indicative timescale for the preparation of a local Community Infrastructure Levy and a new Planning Obligations Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

Referring to page 102 of the report and noting the omission of the updated SPG in relation to the Petts Wood Area of Special Residential Character (ASRC), Councillor Fawthrop sought assurance from officers that this would be included in the Local Plan document.

RESOLVED that the Executive be recommended to approve the revised Local Development Scheme for 2015/2017 as the formal management document for the production of the Bromley Local Plan.
