RESOLVED
 
KEY DECISION
 
That the Executive approved the
North Northamptonshire Local Development Scheme (LDS) for
adoption.
 
 
Reasons for Recommendations – To agree a timetable for the
programme of plans identified in the LDS; and to ensure the Council
meets its legal obligation to publish and maintain an up-to-date
LDS, to meet its requirements as a local planning
authority.
 
To
ensure the Council meets its obligation under Section 15(1) of
Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, to publish an up-to-date
LDS to meet its requirement as a Local Planning
Authority.
 
Alternative Options Considered – It is a statutory
obligation for the Council to publish and maintain an up-to-date
LDS, as such the Council needs to adopt a revised LDS. The
Executive could, if it was minded to do
so, ask officers to review the timeframes and present a further
revision of the LDS in due course
