15. Reference from Planning Committee - Design and Longevity Robustness of Ecological Measures Sought in Developments

The Lead Member explained that he felt the reference would be for noting as there would need to be a new policy in place and the DPD would be the most suitable item for it. The reference did not make the time period extension clear, however he was advised it would be ten years rather than five. He would be required to have a discussion with the Head of Development Management. For the DPD there would be evidence required and it can be a more complicated process

RESOLVED: That

1. the Lead Member for Planning and Infrastructure consult Officers on policies surrounding the extension of the landscaping conditions; and

2. the reference be noted.

3. Agreed that ward councillors should apply directly to the Council for allocation of available local CIL funds to projects, using the application form attached as B to the report; and

4. Agreed that such applications will be assessed by Officers.
