Agenda item

Neath Port Talbot Local Development Plan 2011-2026

Report of the Head of Planning and Public Protection enclosed.

Minutes:

The Leader of Council introduced the item. Members agreed

the importance of raising the public’s awareness of the review.  In

particular members expressed the view around the balance

between towns, valleys and the coastal areas.   Policies around,

for example, Houses in Multiple Occupation could be looked at

during the review.

 

Members then noted that the current Local Development Plan

(LDP) would extend until 2026, while the new plan would cover the

period 2020 to 2035.  The review itself would take four years and

would extend into the new Council in 2022.

 

Officers urged Members to contact officers should they have any

queries.

 

RESOLVED:      That the draft Local Development Plan (LDP) Review Report, as contained   in Appendix 1 to the circulated report, be approved as forming the basis for targeted consultation and that the publication and consultation procedures as set out therein be implemented.
