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 6th April 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 UNITARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN On 28 October 2003, Cardiff Council placed the Cardiff Unitary Development Plan (to 2016) on deposit for public inspection and the submission of representations. In approving the UDP for deposit on 25 September 2003, Council also resolved that “from the date of deposit, in addition to extant development plans, the deposited UDP be taken into account in development control decisions”. The introduction in 2004 of new European requirements for Strategic Environmental Assessment has made it problematic for the Council to take the UDP through to adoption. In view of this, the Welsh Assembly Government has agreed a request from the Council to cease work on the UDP and proceed as soon as possible with preparation of a new Local Development Plan (LDP) under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. No further action will be taken on the representations received in respect of the UDP, although these will help inform the preparation of the new plan. 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 respect of the Pentyrch community. In addition, draft guidance issued by the Welsh Assembly Government in respect of LDP’s indicates that where a UDP has been placed on deposit it may remain a consideration in development control decisions until such time as an LDP has been placed on deposit. In accordance with Assembly guidance, in determining the weight to be attached to policies and proposals in the deposited UDP prior to deposit of an LDP, the Council will have regard to : • 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 have 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; • the extent to which plan policies accord with current Welsh Assembly Government planning policy guidance.
