Report of the Strategic Director of Place

Presented by the Planning and Infrastructure Portfolio Holder

Councillor R Ashman presented the report, seeking Cabinet approval for the Diseworth Village Design Statement to be recommended to the Local Plan Committee for adoption as a Supplementary Planning Document. This was following consideration by Cabinet on 9 June 2020 and the Local Plan Committee on 29 July 2020. Public consultation had then been undertaken following which officers had liaised with the Parish Council to agree some amendments taking account of the responses received.  

Members spoke in support of the proposals, highlighting that it was a key way for local residents to take ownership of their local area’s character and avoid feeling dictated to by Councils and other bodies. Thanks were also expressed to the hard work of residents and the Clerk and Members of Long Whatton and Diseworth Parish Council on the document.

It was moved by Councillor R Ashman,  seconded by Councillor N Rushton and

RESOLVED THAT:

Cabinet recommend to the Local Plan Committee that the revised Diseworth Village Design Statement be adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document subject to the changes highlighted at Appendix A of the report.

Reason for decision: The preparation of a Supplementary Planning Document is a Cabinet function.
