Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendations.

The Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) introduced the Flintshire Local Development Plan (LDP) – Amended Delivery Agreement report which provided details of slippage that had occurred which was sufficient to trigger a revision of the timetable.

                        The original timetable promoted by the Welsh Government (WG) had proved unachievable with no other local authority in Wales being able to produce an LDP in such a timeframe.  In addition, promised good practice guidance and support from WG had not been received.

                        WG required an amended timetable, supported by a formal resolution, before they would consider the revision.  A revised timetable would be considered within one month of receipt.

                        Members expressed their concerns on the problems caused because of the lack of a five year housing land supply and commented that a revised LDP timetable was needed as soon as possible.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the revised timetable for the production of an adopted Flintshire Local Development Plan be approved; and

(b)       That delegated authority is given to the Chief Officer (Planning and Environment) to integrate the approved timetable into a revised Delivery Agreement document to then send to Welsh Government for their agreement.
