Question received from Councillor Pearson:
In accordance with Council Procedure Rule 11.2, please find below a question to the Leader of SDDC, Councillor Martyn Ford, for consideration at the meeting of Full Council on 15 July 2020:
The South Derbyshire Local Plan provides a framework for the amount and location of future housing, employment and infrastructure in the District over the period 2011 to 2028. The introduction to the Local Plan states that it will set the basis for deciding individual planning applications and that it will provide certainty for residents as to how and where development is likely to take place over the Plan period.
At the meetings of Planning Committee held on 30 June and 1 July 2020, the Committee received recommendations to grant approval for two developments that were in conflict with the Local Plan. These were developments for employment and housing in Woodville and for housing in Hilton.
In light of the recommendations presented to the Committee, how much confidence can residents have in the Local Plan?
