RESOLVED -

That the Minutes of the meeting of the Planning Committee held on 16 July, 2018 be signed by the Chair as a true record.

The Strategic Planning and Key Sites Manager submitted a report to provide an update on the current Five Year Housing Supply position of the Council and the implications of the position for decision making on planning applications.

A revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was published by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on 24 July, 2018. The NPPF continued to require local planning authorities to identify and annually update a supply of specific deliverable sites sufficient to provide a minimum of five years’ worth of housing.

There were a number of changes to the calculation of the housing supply introduced. An adopted local plan older than five years would need to be calculated against the Local Housing Need using the new methodology contained in the NPPF. The definition of deliverable has been changed. Previously all sites with planning permission which were deliverable in five years were included, unless there was evidence to the contrary. The new definition states any site with outline planning permission or allocation in a local plan may only be included if there is clear evidence that housing completions would begin on site within five years.

*RESOLVED –

1.   That the report be noted.

2.   That the Planning Committee takes account of the updated position with regard to the five year supply of housing within Chesterfield Borough when determining future planning applications.
