Brook Village Confines

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

The Portfolio Holder introduced the report which sought Cabinet approval to adopt the Brook Village Envelope Boundary as informal guidance for development management purposes. Officers had prepared a Village Envelope map of Brook to indicate where the Council currently considered the existing built up confines of Brook to be. The map would help clarify the written definition in the Local Plan for the purposes of decision making on planning applications. He emphasised recommendation (ii) which would allow for the construction of new development to be taken in to account.

 

Resolved:

 

That       (i)              the Village Envelope Boundary shown in the appendix to the    report be adopted as informal guidance for development                   management purposes.

 

(ii)               authority be delegated to the Spatial Planning Manager, following consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Development, to amend, where relevant, the Village Envelope Boundary to account for the construction of new development.
