Prior to the report’s
introduction Ms Geraldine Brown and Mr Peter Coulling addressed the
Committee.
The Strategic Planning Manager
introduced the report and stated that the responses received during
the Regulation 18 preferred approaches consultation were being
processed and analysed. A significant number of responses had been
received, with an analysis of the responses to be presented to the
Committee during its March 2021 meeting.
It was confirmed that there had
been no material change in the circumstances that the Council used
to calculate windfall allowances, which had proved robust in the
examination of the Local Plan and at Planning Appeals. This would
be reviewed by Officers prior to the Regulation 19 draft Local Plan
Review consultation.
The Strategic Planning Manager
confirmed that a piece of work was being commissioned to establish
whether a business case exists for development along the
Leeds-Langley corridor, that would support a realistic funding
package to deliver the necessary infrastructure. This had been
undertaken in discussion with Kent County Council, as Highway
Authority.
RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
