93 To consult on the renewal of the Butlin's Local Development Order PDF 649 KB
Butlins’ Local Development Order (LDO) came into effect on 1 September 2014 and was valid for a period of 5 years. Butlins have expressed a desire to see the LDO renewed as they regard it as a useful tool for saving time and money for all parties. However, it should be noted that, since it was introduced in 2014 it has not been used.
Minutes:
The Committee received a report from the Group Head of Planning which set out the detail of Butlins’ Local Development Order (LDO) which had been in place since 1 September 2014 and was valid for a period of 5 years. Butlins had requested that the LDO be renewed as they regarded it as a useful tool for saving time and money for all parties when making small changes to their buildings without requiring a planning application to be submitted each time.
The Group Head of Planning was of the view that it was reasonable to renew the LDO and in order to progress that, a consultation would be required to take place and would involve consulting on the draft LDO, draft Statement of Reasons and a plan identifying the land.
Members’ approval was sought to commence the process and, following consideration, the Committee
RECOMMEND TO FULL COUNCIL – That
(1) The principle of a Local Development Order for Butlins be agreed for a further 5 year period;
(2) Delegated authority be granted to the Group Head of Planning to:-
