STATEMENT FROM THE CHIEF PLANNER

Minutes:

“On 16th January 2019, the London Borough of Bromley adopted its new Bromley Local Plan (BLP). This means that the Local Plan now carries full weight as part of Bromley’s Development Plan, along with the adopted London Plan and parts of the Bromley Town Centre Area Action Plan (some policies in the latter are replaced in Local Plan).

 

Members will need to therefore ignore references to Unitary Development Plan (UDP) policies in the agenda this evening, as the UDP is no longer a development plan document, and give full weight to the Local Plan policies set out in each report. Although these are cited as draft policies, the Policy numbers and content is the same as when the reports were published.

 

We would also ask that Members agree to allow Officers delegated authority to update the Policy references in conditions and reasons for refusal prior to issuing any decisions from tonight’s meeting to ensure that they are up to date.”

 

MEMBERS AUTHORISED OFFICERS TO UPDATE THE POLICY REFERENCES UNDER THE CHIEF PLANNER’S DELEGATED AUTHORITY.
