Decision details

To approve the Local Development Scheme (2017) for adoption.

Local Planning Authorities are required by legislation to prepare and maintain a Local Development Scheme (LDS).  The purpose of the Fareham Borough LDS is to set out the timetable for producing the Fareham Borough Local Plan Review and the Authority Monitoring Reports (AMR).

An up-to-date LDS ensures that the community and other interested parties are aware of the programme for preparing the Fareham Local Plan 2036 and, importantly, when there will be opportunities to respond to consultations on it.

The timetable set out in the LDS aims for the adoption for the Fareham Local Plan 2036 in summer 2019.

RESOLVED that the Executive:

(a)  agrees to adopt the Fareham Borough Local Development Scheme 2017 as set out in Appendix A to the report; and

(b)  authorises the Director of Planning and Regulation to make any necessary minor changes to the Local Development Scheme, providing that these do not change the overall direction, shape or emphasis of the document, prior to the document being published on the Council’s website.
