Cabinet:

2.1         Approved the new Northampton Borough Local Development Scheme and brought it into immediate effect.

Councillor Hill as the relevant Cabinet Member submitted his report outlining further updates to the Local Development Scheme (LDS), which was the project management scheme for the Local Plan Part 2.  The update was required for two reasons.  Firstly, the Round 2 consultation period had been extended for two weeks to allow time for organisations to sign off responses during the holiday period (3.2.2).  Secondly, the introduction of new Use Class E from 1 September 2020 had impacted the wording of policies in the emerging Local Plan and time had been needed to address these (3.2.3).

The revised timings for submission of the Local Plan Part 2 (expected to be January/February 2021) were set out in Appendix 1.

RESOLVED:

Cabinet:

2.1         Approved the new Northampton Borough Local Development Scheme and brought it into immediate effect.
