Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Cabinet:
1 Approved the planning guidance note (as set out in Appendix 1 to the report) for public consultation purposes;
2 Approved the use of the note on an interim basis as ‘good practice’ guidance to show the circumstances in which commuted sum payments to the Council might be appropriate in lieu of on-site / off-site provision pending formal adoption by Full Council;
3 Approved publication of the guidance note on the Council’s website as an interim guide pending formal adoption by Full Council; and
4 Noted that recommendations 1 and 2 notwithstanding, the current national planning legislation would continue to afford the policies in the Havering Local Development Framework (as part of the statutory Development Plan) greater weight than the guidance note in the formal planning decision-making process.
