Prior to the report’s
introduction, Mr Peter Titchener addressed the
Committee.
The Strategic Planning Manager
introduced the report and stated that the report on the main
modifications arising from the Regulation 19 ‘draft for
submission’ documents public consultation would be presented
to the Committee on 21 March 2022.
The processing and analysis of
the representations submitted continued; the Lidsing Garden Community proposal had currently
received the highest number of representations, with a large number
received for the Heathlands Garden Community proposal alongside
those for the Invicta Barracks site as carried forward from the
2017 adopted Local Plan (LP). The comments made within the
representations, such as the effects to the local landscapes of the
proposals, were outlined. Technical work continued in relation to
those proposals to provide reassurance to the Inspector following
the LP’s submission and to ensure compliance to the
Regulation 19 policies that required such work to be conducted in
the production of Supplementary Planning Documents.
It was likely that additional
Statements of Common Ground would be presented to the Committee
prior to the LPs submission. Further transport work may also be
available at the time of submission.
