Issue - meetings

The Board received a report from the Executive Director – Environment and Regeneration, which requested approval to support the Supplementary Planning Process for the Transport and Accessibility; Social Value in Planning; and  House Extensions Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD). 

The Local Plan for Halton currently included the adopted Delivery and Allocations Local Plan (2022) and the Joint Waste Plan (2013). The statutory Local Development Plan was the set of local plans that together formed the statutory basis for determining whether or not planning permission should be granted.

SPD’s add further detail to the policies in the Local Plan and they are used to provide further guidance for development on specific sites, or on issues such as social value, transport and accessibility or house extensions.

The report set out the policy links for each SPD and these were noted.

          RESOLVED:  That the Board support and endorse the development of the above named SPD’s through the regulatory planning process, until adoption.
