Local Plan 1995 PREFACE This version of the Local Plan was adopted by the Council in December 1995. To produce the Plan has taken a number of years, as it has been necessary to comply with the various statutory requirements of the Development Plan process. As a result of this, some of the text and policies contained in the Plan have been altered several times. Other parts have remained as originally drafted in 1992 for the "Deposit Draft" version, or even as in the 1990 "Consultation Draft". Since starting on this process of preparing the Local Plan, there have been a number of changes in circumstances. In particular, these have included: - changes from a buoyant economy to recession and, now to slow recovery; - further national policy guidance from the Government (PPGs); - a review of the County Structure Plan (Alterations No.3); - changes in Planning Legislation; and - revisions to the U.S. defence policy affecting the numbers of service personnel based in the District. Consideration has been given to updating this version of the Plan to acknowledge these changed circumstances. It was decided, however, that such an exercise was more likely to cause further confusion as it would remove the text and policies from the context in which they were written. It would then be difficult to explain or to justify the changes within the format of the Plan. Given the time which it takes to produce a Local Plan, and progress it through the statutory framework, it is inevitable that some of the text or background information will be out of date by the time that the final version is published. In the case of this Plan, this is not considered to be a significant problem because: - most of the national policy guidance which has been produced since 1992 has been clarification of existing principles rather than a change of policy; - alterations to the Structure Plan are mostly acknowledgements of the fact that more detailed policy issues are best considered in a Local Plan. There has not been a review of the basic housing allocation figures; and - the continued recession in the development industry has resulted in a slower than anticipated rate of take up in allocated sites, thus resulting in a more than adequate supply remaining available. On this basis, it is considered that the Forest Heath Local Plan and the policies which it contains are still capable of dealing adequately with current circumstances. It is accepted, however, that a Local Plan will never provide a completely up to date policy cover for every development proposal. In such cases, it is recognised that other contemporary policy guidance will need to be considered. This will include any revisions to the Structure Plan or other National policy. ERRATA Following the Local Plan Inquiry, a "Proposed Modifications" document was published in August 1995, which indicated those changes to the Deposit Draft version of the Plan that the Council resolved to accept. Amendments to the Policies now numbered 6.2, 6.8 and 10.14, and the paragraphs now numbered 10.12, 10.15, 10.16, 12.19 and 13.17 in the Adopted Plan were published for public consultation before the Inquiry and considered by the Inspector at the Inquiry. However, in error, they were not included in the Proposed Modifications document. At the Inquiry, the Inspector recommended that they be included in the adopted version of the Local Plan, and it was the resolution of this Local Planning Authority to accept the Inspector's recommendations. Prior to the Inquiry, these proposed amendments were agreed by the Council and their availability for public consultation was advertised in the local press in August and September 1993. This omission was not noted until after the formal resolution to adopt the Plan in December 1995. To try to rectify this omission, the amended Policies are now included with the amendments printed in bold italic text. However, it is understood that these amendments do not form part of the Local Plan for the purpose of Section 70(2) and Section 54A of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, but would be material considerations in the assessment of any relevant proposal. This matter will be resolved formally when the Local Plan is reviewed. CONTENTS CHAPTER Page No. 1. INTRODUCTION 1 2. STRATEGIC BACKGROUND 5 3. THE DISTRICT STRATEGY AND SETTLEMENT POLICY 12 4.

  • Council Minutes
    Appendix 1 Annual Investment Strategy 2018/19 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Council has incorporated the best practice recommendations within CLG’s 2010 ‘Guidance on Local Government Investments’ (“Guidance”) and CIPFA’s 2011 ‘Treasury Management in Public Services: Code of Practice and Cross Sectoral Guidance Notes’ (“CIPFA TM Code”) into this Strategy. 2 INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES 2.1 All investments will be in sterling. 2.2 The general policy objective for this Council is the prudent investment of its treasury balances. 2.3 The Council’s investment priorities are primarily the security of capital, with the liquidity of its investments a secondary consideration. The rate of return on capital will be subordinate to security and liquidity at all times. 2.4 The Council will aim to achieve the optimum return on its investments, after considering the proper levels of security and liquidity. 2.5 Borrowing with the sole intention of investing or on-lending to make a return is unlawful. The authority will not engage in such activity. 3 SPECIFIED AND NON-SPECIFIED INVESTMENTS 3.1 An investment is a specified investment if it meets all of the following criteria: • The investment and any related payments are denominated in sterling • It is due or can be demanded to be repaid within twelve months • It is not defined as capital expenditure by virtue of regulation • It is made with a body of high credit quality as defined in 3.2 and 3.3 below, or with the UK Government, a local authority or a parish council. 3.2 A counterparty will be judged to be of high credit quality if it holds a credit rating from at least one of the credit rating agencies as follows: • Short-term F1 or long-term A- (Fitch) or • Short-term P1 or long-term A3 (Moody’s) or • Short-term A1 or long-term A- (Standard & Poor’s) • Short-term rating AAA or equivalent for Money Market Funds (MMFs).
