Decision details

Council considered a report which set out a recommendation from the Planning Committee that the Local Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document be adopted as a material consideration in planning decisions.  The Local Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document was attached to the report at Appendix 1.

The report explained that the Planning Committee at its meeting on 17^th January 2024, had considered responses to a public consultation on a draft of the document and had approved a number of revisions in response to the consultation exercise. 

Councillor Ashley Taylor asked a question regarding the provision of EV charging as standard for new homes and whether this would be enforced.  The Senior Devolution Lead for Planning Policy, Strategic Growth and Housing explained that building standards set out what the Council expected and if required conditions were breached then planning enforcement would investigate.  Planning enforcement was generally a reactive service, investigating once a complaint had been made.

Moved by Councillor John Ritchie and seconded by Councillor Clive Moesby
