Report of the Head of Finance and Resources - Correction to Decision under Minute 52 of the meeting of 23 July 2015

 

 

1.         PURPOSE OF REPORT

 

1.1      To correct the published decision in Minute 52 of the minutes of the adjourned meeting of the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee on 23 July 2015.

 

 

2.         INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

 

2.1      At the meeting of the Strategic Planning, Sustainability and Transportation Committee on 23 July 2015 the Committee considered a report of the Head of Planning and Development – Reconsideration of Previously Rejected Maidstone Borough Local Plan Regulation 18 Draft and 2014 SHLAA Housing Sites.  This meeting was an adjourned meeting from 14 July 2015.

 

2.2      The report stated two sites, H1(61) Land at Cross Keys, Roundwell, Bearsted and H1(65) Land North of Lenham Road, Headcorn be recommended to be ‘re-assessed to go forward to Regulation 18 Consultation as potential housing site allocations’.

 

2.3      The resulting Decision from this meeting stated:

 

‘The following sites, which have already obtained either Planning Permission or a Resolution to Grant by the Council’s Planning Committee, be approved for Public Consultation (according to the relevant stage of the consultation for each site):

 

H1(39) – Land at Ulcombe Road, Headcorn, (Regulation 19)

H1 (61) – Land at Cross Keys, Roundwell, Bearsted (Regulation 18)

H1(65) – Land North of Lenham Road, Headcorn (Regulation 18)’

 

2.4      At the meeting the Committee did in fact agree that all three sites, referred to in this Decision, go to Regulation 19 Consultation.  This was due to the change of status of the sites since the date of the publication of the report.  The published Decision for this item is currently incorrect and should read:

 

‘The following sites, which have already obtained either Planning Permission or a Resolution to Grant by the Council’s Planning Committee, be approved for Public Consultation (according to the relevant stage of the consultation for each site):

 

H1(39) – Land at Ulcombe Road, Headcorn, (Regulation 19)

H1 (61) – Land at Cross Keys, Roundwell, Bearsted (Regulation 19)

H1(65) – Land North of Lenham Road, Headcorn (Regulation 19)’

 

 

 

3.         PREFERRED OPTION AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS

 

3.1      The Committee is advised to correct the decision of 23 July 2015 as per paragraph 2.4 above. 

 

 

 

4.        NEXT STEPS: COMMUNICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DECISION

 

4.1      The two sites involved in the correction of this decision will go forward in the Regulation 19 Public Consultation version of the Maidstone Borough Council Local Plan.
