Minutes:
The Head of Planning and Infrastructure presented the report.
Members had a discussion during which they expressed support for the document. They commented on the negative impact a lack of functional chimneys on new builds would have had on those with no access to electricity or gas, and it was noted that these issues had not been sufficiently addressed as part of the document.
After questioning whether the addition of functional chimneys could have been insisted to developers, members were advised that it would have been difficult to have enforced as part of the document.
It was moved by Councillor M Ball, seconded by Councillor J Legrys and
RESOLVED THAT:
1) The Good Design Guide for North West Leicestershire Supplementary Planning Document, which can be found in the link to Appendix 2 in the report, be adopted.
2) Authority be delegated to the Strategic Director of Place, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning, to agree any modification as a result of any changes in the Government’s National Planning Policy.
