Minutes:

Cabinet considered the report of the Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy that sought Members to recommend the adoption of the Gloucester City Plan as a part of Gloucester City Council’s statutory Development Plan.

 

The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy stressed the scale of both the significance of the proposed plan, the first since 1983, and the huge amount of work to compile it.  She commented on its impact not only on regeneration and the delivery of homes but also on climate change and jobs as well as the natural and historic environments.  The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy drew Members’ attention to some of the innovative policies incorporated in the plan.  These included the requirement for 25% of new homes to be adaptable and affordable, Biodiversity Net Gain and fall prevention measures for buildings over a certain height.

 

The Cabinet Member for Environment stated that the Gloucester City Plan was a great credit to the Planning Policy Manager and his team and asked officers present that they be thanked.  The Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure reflected on the long process to form the Plan and opportunities given for everyone to feed into it.  He commented that it would enable Gloucester to develop as we want rather than being dictated by others.

 

RECOMMENDED to Council that:

 

(1)    the Gloucester City Plan 2011 – 2031 (Appendix 5 of the report) be adopted, incorporating all of the Main Modifications recommended by the Inspector (Appendix 2 of the report), together with the Additional Modifications (Appendix 6 and Appendix 6A of the report), as a part of Gloucester City Council’s statutory Development Plan

 

(2)    the correction of any minor errors such as spelling, grammar, cross-referencing, typographical and formatting changes (including the addition of a foreword), that do not affect the substantive content of the plan be delegated to the Head of Place, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy; and to finalise and publish an updated and consolidated version of the Policies Map as it relates to the Gloucester City Plan.
