Agenda item

The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director of Regeneration, Economy and Growth which sought approval to commence work on the Minerals and Waste Policies and Allocations Development Plan Document, and, the Parking and Accessibility Supplementary Planning Document and the timetable for their preparation in a new Local Development Scheme (for copy see file of minutes).

Councillor Marshall, Portfolio Holder for Economic Regeneration, explained that the Council approved the adoption of the County Durham Plan at their meeting held on 21 October 2020, and, whilst the County Durham Plan is a comprehensive document covering all aspects of planning, it is necessary to supplement the Plan with more detailed development management policies and non-strategic site allocations.  Cabinet noted the documents will be published for consultation in the new year and encouraged members of the public to participate in the consultation process.

Resolved:

That the recommendations in the report be approved.
