Decision Making Session by Portfolio Holder for Planning, Housing and Commissioning (Central)
Wednesday, 18th September, 2013
SUMMARY
The Portfolio Holder considered a report by the Head of Economic Growth and Prosperity which sought endorsement for adoption of the Broseley Town Plan by Shropshire Council as material consideration for development management purposes. The responsibility for planning policy adoption fell to full Council. A copy of the Town Plan had been placed in the members library and could be viewed at: http://www.2shrop.net/live/welcome.asp?id=3090.
The Town Plan had been prepared by Broseley Town Council, with detailed consultation in the form of a residents’ survey followed up by street surveys and a public meeting. Shropshire Council had promoted community-led plans as a more sustainable model to the full-blown statutory process for neighbourhood development plans set out in the Localism Act. As such the Broseley Town Plan did not need to undergo a costly examination or referendum, but was given weight by the Local Planning Authority through resolution of Shropshire Council to draw on the Town Plan to help inform development management decisions and by ensuring that the SAMDev Development Plan helped to deliver its vision, objectives and policies.
An update was given to the Portfolio Holder advising that Broseley Town Council had changed policies ED3 and VE2 at their meeting on 10th September 2013.
