The Cabinet Member for Planning and Infrastructure introduced the report which set out the modifications proposed by the inspector who examined the Submission Local Plan and sought approval for adoption of the Local Plan 2011- 2029 and the withdrawal of the saved policies of the Adopted Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan 1996 – 2011. He thanked all members for their contributions to shape the policies, officers for their hard work throughout the process and residents for their engagement in the process. Visiting member, Councillor Harvey was invited to address the Cabinet. He raised concern regarding the idea of a presumption in favour of development policy and the effect that would have over the planning process. He also raised concerns regarding neighbourhood plans and figures being a starting Page 5 point for development over the planned period and the sustainability of the five year housing land supply over the longer period. The Cabinet Member for Planning and Infrastructure acknowledged Councillors Harvey’s concerns stating there were no easy answers. He stated that National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) wanted the development process to be permissive to those who want to develop and the Local Plan had to reflect that in order to be sound but accepted there was a tension between the apparent constraints to development that are enshrined within the Local Plan and the overall permissive nature of development within the NPPF, an example being the interpretation of the figures considered in neighbourhood plans. He further added that what was currently considered as a five year housing land supply may change in the future as this was based on a prediction for future development. The Cabinet supported the proposal, highlighting that it was important that throughout the planning process the correct infrastructure was put in place such as roads, schools, and open space to protect the quality of life for residents. Resolved: That Cabinet note the outcome of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan Inspector’s Report (Appendix A of the report) Recommendation to Council: 1) That in accordance with Section 23 Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and regulation 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, that the council adopts the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan, incorporating the main modifications as set out in Appendix B of the report, together with minor updates and drafting changes authorised by the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Infrastructure, together with the Head of Planning and Infrastructure 2) That the saved policies of the Adopted Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan (1996-2011) be withdrawn. Reasons for Decision: Following the receipt of the Inspector’s report, which concluded that, subject to a number of modifications, the submitted Local Plan was sound and capable of adoption, the Local Plan can now be adopted to form the Development Plan for the borough. The Local Plan is a key policy document which sets out the planning framework for the area and is a key tool in delivering the objectives of the corporate plan. Upon adoption of the Plan, the saved policies of the Adopted Basingstoke and Deane Borough Local Plan (1996-2011) can be withdrawn as these are effectively superseded by the more up to date Plan. Page 6 06/16 Adoption of Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan [Item 7] The Cabinet Member for Planning and Infrastructure introduced the report which recommended that the plan was ‘made’ by Council following a positive referendum result. He commended the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Planning Group on their hard work and a well written, detailed plan that will provide a model example for other neighbourhood plans. Recommendation to Council: Cabinet recommends to Full Council, under section 38A(4) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, to make the Oakley and Deane Neighbourhood Plan with immediate effect, with the consequence that it becomes part of the statutory development plan for Basingstoke and Deane Borough.
