Agenda item

The Regulatory Portfolio Holder reminded Members that the Executive, in April 2016, had agreed that the Draft West End Village Design Statement Supplementary Planning Document (VDS) be subject to a statutory 6 weeks consultation. Following the completion of the consultation process and some minor adjustments, the report sought the adoption of the West End VDS as a Supplementary Planning Document.

The Executive noted that the VDS was guidance rather than policy. It could not stop development happening, but could provide additional information in respect of design and character and would support policies in the Council’s Core Strategy.

Resolved, that the West End Village Design Statement be adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
