Submission Core Strategy - January 2011 LB Hammersmith and Fulham 5 Introduction 2 2 Introduction Purpose of this document 2.1 This document is Hammersmith and Fulham's proposed submission Core Strategy published in accordance with Regulation 27 30 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2008. It has been published, together with proposed changes to the adopted Proposals Map and has been to allow for representations to be made before the document, along with the representations, is submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination in Public in 2011. 2.2 The council has previously consulted on the Proposed Submission Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy Options in June October 2010 2009 and has developed these Options into spatial and borough wide policies. What is a Local Development Framework Core Strategy? 2.3 The LDF is part of the Government’s planning system, introduced by the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The LDF will consist of a collection of local development documents including Development Plan Documents (DPDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs). 2.4 When adopted, the LDF will replace the borough’s Unitary Development Plan (UDP) and will be used, together with the London Plan, to help shape the future of the borough and to determine individual planning applications and deliver development. Other DPDs, including the Generic Development Management Policies DPD, and SPDs will need to be in conformity with the Core Strategy DPD. The Core Strategy will replace a number of existing UDP policies, but others will continue to operate until replaced by more detailed Generic Development Management Policies (see Appendix 7). 2.5 The Core Strategy DPD is the overarching document of the LDF and sets out the Borough Partnership’s long term vision, as set out in H&F’s Community Strategy published in September 2007, to create a borough of opportunity for all. It highlights the strategic objectives for the borough, focussing on the key issues to be addressed, and includes a delivery strategy for achieving these objectives. It identifies major regeneration areas and allocates strategic sites for development which are considered crucial to the achievement of the Core Strategy. 2.6 The document sets out as far as practicable when, where and by whom actions will be taken, identifying the Council and its partners where relevant. 2.7 All the LDF documents that the Council is producing, and their production timeframe, are set out in the borough’s Local Development Scheme (LDS). The LDS and all the borough’s LDF documents may be viewed on the link to the Council’s website below: www.lbhf.gov.uk/ldf The LDF’s relationship with other policies and strategies 2.8 The Core Strategy will provides a clear way forward for the regeneration of the borough. It will closely relates to the Community Strategy, but will also reflects and promotes supporting Council strategies, such as the Housing Strategy 2007-2014, Economic Development Strategy 2007-2012, and other strategies of our partners, such as the Primary Care Trust. 6 LB Hammersmith and Fulham Submission Core Strategy - January 2011 2 Introduction National Policy and the London Plan 2.9 The LDF must be consistent with national policy, produced by the Department for Communities and Local Government and its predecessors, in the form of Planning Policy Statements, Policy Planning Guidance Notes and Circulars. The LDF also needs to be in general conformity with regional guidance, produced by the Mayor of London and set out in the London Plan. 2.10 National policy is continually being produced and updated, including policy on LDFs as set out in PPS 12 Local Spatial Planning published in 2008. In addition, the London Plan, most recently altered in February 2008, is subject to a further review with publication of a new Plan in early 2012. As new policies emerge, the LDF will need to take account of them. Previous LDF consultation 2.11 The council has previously consulted on the Proposed Submission Core Strategy in October 2010, Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy Options in June 2009, Generic Development Management Options in November 2009 and, under previous Regulations, Planning Issues and Options in October 2005 and Core Strategy and Site Specific Allocations Preferred Options in June 2007. The Council took the decision to re-consult on Options in June 2009 in order to take into account factors such as responses to the June 2007 consultation, further evidence gathering, identification of major regeneration opportunities in the borough and changes to National and London Plan policy.

    Overview and Scrutiny Committee 14th January 2010 Agenda Item: Ward: All Key Changes to the Emerging Core Strategy Report by the Executive Head of Planning Regeneration and Wellbeing 1.0 Summary 1.1 The Core Strategy is the key element of the Local Development Framework as it will guide future development in the borough until 2026. The final stages of the preparation of the Core Strategy are being reached prior to it being submitted to the Secretary of State for formal examination. This report advises Members of the key changes that will be been made to the document, and the reasons for them, since the Revised Core Strategy document was published for consultation in June 2009. The report then sets out the next steps toward submission, examination and adoption. 2.0 Background 2.1 When adopted, the Core Strategy will set the overall vision and planning policy framework for the town to 2026. It will set out what we want to achieve in different areas of the borough and how we will go about doing it. It will also provide the context for all subsequent Local Development Documents and their policies. When preparing this pivotal planning document the Council must maintain consistency with national and regional planning guidance and take into account the views of the community and stakeholders. 2.2 A significant amount of work to progress the Core Strategy has already been undertaken. In October 2007 the Council did prepare a Submission version of the Core Strategy. At that time, it was then expected that a public examination of the document would take place in early 2008.

  • Shepway Core Strategy Local Plan 2013 1
    Shepway Core Strategy Local Plan 2013 The Adoption of the Shepway Core Strategy: Minor Editing (September 2013) Introduction This note has been produced to maximise transparency in the preparation and formal adoption of the final Shepway Core Strategy. It is not a statutory or formal council document, and has been produced optionally to provide additional public information. The Shepway Core Strategy was found ’sound’ by the independent Planning Inspector, Michael Hetherington in June, following Examination of the document (which was published in July 2011). This means that it could proceed to formal ‘adoption’ and come into force as the new development plan for the district. 1 The Inspector’s Report was considered by Shepway’s Cabinet on 23 rd July 2013. This flagged up the intention to consider including minor alterations, additional to the Inspector’s modifications, to ensure the adopted plan was factually correct and up-to-date. The Core Strategy is adopted including the ‘Main Modifications’ that make up the appendix and annexe to the Inspector’s Report. These changes substitute most of the modifications put forward by the council following the five Examination hearing days in 2012, in place of parts of the 2011 Core Strategy document. Main modifications were necessary for the plan’s policies to meet the national tests of soundness. Therefore in order to update other content e.g. factual illustration, descriptive text etc, some additional changes are required. This note sets out the nature of this editing. The legal basis stems from

  • Planning Application Validation Checklist
    PLANNING APPLICATIONS VALIDATION INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS CHECKLISTS & GUIDANCE December 2016 READING BOROUGH COUNCIL PLANNING APPLICATION VALIDATION INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS The Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 (DMPO 2015) sets out that for a planning application to be valid: • it should be submitted using the appropriate planning application form (1APP available from the Planning Portal websites. • the form should be completed on line, the correct fee paid and information provided to meet national information requirements, and • it should include additional information as required by the local planning authority and specified by the local planning authority on their local list of information erequirem nts. The DMPO 2015 requires local planning authorities to review their local lists, if they have them, at least every 2 years to ensure that the requirements remain robust and justified. In addition the Growth and Infrastructure Act 2013 makes clear that local planning authority information requirements must be reasonable by having regard to the nature and scale of the proposed development and the information required must be a material consideration in the determination of the application. Customers were asked to comment on the previous local list document and officers have reviewed it against changes in regulations and procedures. Most customers wanted the list simplified and suggested that typical examples or worked scenarios be given, which we have tried to do. The main change is that for householders we will no longer invalidate an application if Part 2 local list requirements are not met, although we will advise you if your site is in an area where a Bat survey might be needed.

  • Local Development Framework Core Strategy Submission Document June 2006 Self Assessment of Soundness
    Local Development Framework Core Strategy Submission Document June 2006 Self Assessment of Soundness Introduction The Council has carried out this informal assessment in accordance with the advice contained in Development Plans Examination – A guide to the Process of Assessing the Soundness of Development Plan Documents published by the Planning Inspectorate in December 2005. It is being submitted alongside the Core Strategy document to show why Epsom and Ewell Borough Council considers this plan to be a sound development plan document. Procedural Tests Test 1: The Core Strategy has been prepared in accordance with the Local Development Scheme The timetable for the production of the Core Strategy is identified in the Council’s Local Development Scheme (LDS) which came into effect on the 15 April 2005 following approval by the Council and the Government Office for the South East. The Core Strategy has been approved by the Council at a meeting of its Strategy and Resources Committee on 27 June 2006. The LDS describes the role of the Core Strategy as the document that ‘sets out the vision, strategy and core policies for development, up to March 2016’. Following the publication of draft PPS3 (Housing), the response from GOSE, and the submission of the South East Plan (with an end date of 2026), it was proposed that the Core Strategy should cover the period up until 2022 (15 years from its anticipated adoption in September 2007). It was felt that this would help provide greater certainty and clarity, and provide a firm basis for the development of the remaining development plan documents, and the evolution of the Community Strategy.
