Vale of White Horse Local Plan to 2011: Supplementary Planning Guidance

To receive and consider report 254/05 of the Strategic and Local Planning Advisory Group and make recommendations to the Executive for modifications to the Local Plan Supplementary Planning Guidance.

MEMBERS ARE REQUESTED TO RETAIN THIS AGENDA FOR USE AT MEETINGS OF THE EXECUTIVE (IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS MEETING) AND THE COUNCIL (22 MARCH). THE REPORTS WITHIN THIS AGENDA HAVE BEEN SENT TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AND HAVE BEEN PRINTED ONLY ONCE TO SAVE PAPER.

Minutes:

The Committee received and considered report 254/05 of the Deputy Director (Planning and Community Strategy) regarding Supplementary Planning Guidance to be adopted alongside the Local Plan to 2011. The Committee also considered the views of the Strategic and Local Planning Advisory Group on the Supplementary Planning Guidance.

Members debated the affordable housing tenure mix recommended in the report. This suggested that of the 40% affordable housing on development sites above Local Plan thresholds, 30% should be rented accommodation and 10% shared equity housing. An amendment was suggested by Councillor Terry Cox that the mix should be more in line with that in the Second Deposit Draft Local Plan and suggested a 25% rented and 15% shared equity mix, thereby allowing more people to enter the housing ownership market. This was put to the meeting and lost on the vote by ten votes to five with two abstentions. Other than that issue, Members supported the Advisory Group's recommendations without dissent.

RESOLVED

that the Executive be recommended to recommend on to the Council:

(a) that the Supplementary Planning Guidance adopted alongside the Local Plan to 2001, as listed in Appendix 1 to report 254/05, be deleted with effect from 23 March 2006;
