Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report for information on a recent Government consultation in relation to the proposed amendments on the National Planning Policy Framework and the draft National Model Design Code.

The closing date for the consultation is 27 March 2021 and the response was included in the report. Any additional comments from members could be notified to the Head of Regeneration and Housing to add a supplementary response or could be submitted separately via the consultation website.

The report outlined that essentially the proposed changes have two roles. Firstly, it provides an opportunity to draw together and update the Framework to reflect different elements of change that have come about through a number of other policy area changes and help remove any inconsistences that exist; and secondly there are policy changes being introduced that would need to more strongly reflect design in the way that policy is both formulated and implemented by way of planning applications.

The implications of the proposed changes would need to be considered in terms of impact upon the operation of the planning services in due course.
