Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report seeking authority from members to release Section 106 contributions to Longridge Cricket Club.

 

The Section 106 monies were secured when planning permission was granted to erect up to 195 dwellings on land to the North of Dilworth Lane, Longridge in the sum of £682 per dwelling towards off site open space for:-

 

·         Grass pitch improvements at Mardale, Longridge;

·         Cricket wicket provision at Longridge Cricket Club;

·         Sports hall improvements at Longridge Sports Club; and

·         Play facility improvements in Longridge.

 

To date £87,774 had been receipted in respect of the contribution based on the three trigger points set out in the Agreement.

 

The Director of Economic Development and Planning reported that Longridge Cricket Club had recently done improvements works at the club in respect of the cricket pitches including reseeding and treating the pitch and were seeking to utilise part of the S106 contributions to fund the work. Invoices totalling £12,753 had been received and approved.

 

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

 

Authorise the payment of the already received invoice(s) from Longridge Cricket Club within 28 working days of committee, up to the amount of £12,753.

Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report asking for committee’s approval to have consultancy support to deliver key evidence for the Local Plan Review, specifically for the Strategic Housing and Employment Land Study (SHELA)

 

The SHELA (as was the SHLAA) is a key piece of evidence that helps identify potential sources of land to enable the Council to ensure it has land available to deliver its strategy and housing requirements. These sites would still need to follow the due process of either Local Plan allocation and/or the granting of planning permission. The most recent guidance has included the consideration of employment sites as well as housing sites, hence the term SHELA.

 

The Council is required to publish an up-to-date study as part of the plan-making process and to meet national policy requirements. A new study is needed as the last update was 2013, and the Council needs to be able to demonstrate that it has considered reasonable alternatives in relation to development strategy patterns of development and potential sites.

 

Members were reminded that this piece of work was to be delivered by in-house resource, however, ongoing staffing issues meant that there was a need to secure consultancy support to deliver the SHELA to maintain the published timetable. At this stage there was no requirement to identify additional funding as the current Local Plan budget has resources available.

 

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

 

1.    Agree to secure consultancy support to deliver the Strategic Housing and Employment Land Study and that the appointment of a suitable consultancy be commissioned as soon as possible, having regard to the Council’s financial and procurement regulations; and

 

2.      Endorse the publication of a call for sites to inform the Local Plan process and that the call for sites process be kept under review by the Development Plan working group.

Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted a report asking committee to agree to the publication of the final report of April 2020 carried out by Turley Associates on the Strategic Housing and Employment Needs Assessment.

 

The report, which provides a range of housing data, would be published for reference but its findings in relation to housing requirement would remain subject to further scenario development as part of the plan-making process.

 

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

 

Agree to the publication of the consultant’s final report which provides the basis for further scenario development to assist the plan-making process.

Report of Director of Economic Development and Planning enclosed.

The Director of Economic Development and Planning submitted the Authority Monitoring Report 2020/21 for committee’s information. The Council would continue to monitor on an annual basis and would look to develop an improved system as part of the forthcoming Local Plan review.
