Report of the Director of Services

Presented by the Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder

The Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder presented the report to Members. He advised Members that the Local Development Order would grant permission to ensure the continuation of the Shop Front Improvement Scheme success and as the money had been extended to include further streets the order required expanding also.

Councillor R Blunt thanked the Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder for his support and stated that the project was getting traction, with the work that had already been carried out along High Street presenting an upward curve to improvement.

It was moved by Councillor T J Pendleton, seconded by Councillor R Blunt and

RESOLVED THAT:

1. The extension and expansion of the Local Development Order (LDO) at appendix 1 to the report, that is supporting the Coalville Shop Front Improvement Grant Scheme;

2. The revised LDO be subject to a six week public consultation following the end of the call-in period; and

3. Authority be delegated to the Director of Services, in consultation with the Regeneration and Planning Portfolio Holder, to adopt the LDO with or without modifications at the end of the consultation period.

Reason for decision: To support the Building Confidence in Coalville programme, by making it easier for property owners to undertake specified improvements and the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 provides for local planning authority to formally adopt the Local Development Order.
