The plans relating to the applications will be available for inspection at the City Hall, during the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday morning preceding the Committee. Unless otherwise stated in the report, Planning Committee has delegated powers to determine the applications in the schedule. Planning Committee (but not an individual member) can also refer a matter to another committee or to the Council for a resolution. However, Council cannot move an amendment to a recommendation relating to a planning application or make a recommendation relating to a planning application and can only refer a matter back to Planning Committee on one occasion, after which Planning Committee shall decide the matter. Please now note that if any requests for site visits are acceded to by the meeting, such site visits will take place during the afternoon of Monday 9th November 2009 . If you submit a request for a site visit, you must include in your submission - (a) a choice of at least two starting times for the site visit that you are requesting, each of which must be at least 45 minutes apart; and (b) the reasons why you believe that such a site visit is necessary. If you fail to provide any choices of starting times for the site visit that you've requested, it will be assumed that you will be available to attend such a site visit at any time of the day, regardless of what time it starts. The Clerk to the Council will circulate the Agenda for the meeting to the Members of the Planning Committee separately. Yours sincerely, Chief Strategic Planning and Environment Officer CARDIFF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN In May 2005 the Welsh Assembly Government agreed a request from the Council to cease work on the Cardiff Unitary Development Plan (UDP) which had reached deposit stage and proceed as soon as possible with preparation of a new Local Development Plan (LDP) under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. On 28 April 2009, Cardiff Council placed the Cardiff Local Development Plan 2006-2021 on deposit for public inspection and the submission of representations. In approving the LDP for deposit on 19 March 2009, Council also resolved that “from the date of deposit, in addition to extant development plans, the deposited LDP be taken into account in development control decisions”. Extant adopted and approved development plans for the administrative area of Cardiff will remain the statutory development plan for Cardiff until formal adoption of the new LDP. These are the City of Cardiff Local Plan (1996), the South Glamorgan (Cardiff Area) Replacement Structure Plan (1997) and the South Glamorgan (Cardiff Area) Minerals Local Plan 1997) together with the approved Mid Glamorgan County Structure Plan incorporating Proposed Alterations No. 1 (September 1989). In accordance with Assembly guidance, in determining the weight to be attached to policies and proposals in the deposited LDP the Council will have regard to: • The degree to which later statements of national policy and the Wales Spatial Plan make the statutory Development Plan out of date and suggest a decision should be taken otherwise than in accordance with the Development Plan; • The degree to which the statutory Development Plan is out of date for any other reason; • The degree to which a relevant policy of the LDP provides guidance on the issue; • Where this is the case the cogency of the evidence upon which it is based including the degree to which it is derived from and consistent with national policy; • The implications for the legitimacy of the plan process if effect is given to the policy at this stage; • The implications for the objectives of the policy and the public interest if effect is not given to it until a later date; • The level and nature of any objections to, and representations in support of, a particular policy; • The degree of any conflict with adopted / approved plans; • Whether particular development proposals are individually so substantial, or would be so significant a cumulative effect, that to grant permission would predetermine decisions about the scale, location or phasing of new development which ought properly to be taken through the development plan; and • The extent to which plan policies accord with current Welsh Assembly Government planning policy guidance. In respect to the weight to be attached to the deposited UDP Welsh Assembly Guidance states that a UDP that has not been adopted may remain a consideration in development control decisions until such time as the LDP is adopted, unless it is formally abandoned by the authority in favour of an emerging LDP. As the UDP has not been formally abandoned by the Council the UDP remains a material consideration in development control decisions. However the weight which can be attached to the LDP relative to the UDP is likely to increase the further it progresses to adoption.
