- Meeting of Co-operative Executive, Wednesday 19 January 2022 2.00 pm (Item 15.)
- View the background to item 15.
Report of the Executive Director, Place
Decision:
15.1 |
The report set out the overall spatial options for meeting future development needs in Sheffield in the period to 2039 and to conduct the cross-party engagement process regarding the approach as agreed in October 2021. The overall aim of that process is for the Council to reach a decision on a preferred approach in advance of producing the Publication Draft Sheffield Plan (to be published for public consultation in October 2022). |
|
|
15.2 |
RESOLVED: That Co-operative Executive:-
|
|
|
|
|
15.3 |
Reasons for Decision |
|
|
15.3.1 |
Officers require a clear steer on the preferred approach before the details can be worked in the full Publication Draft Plan and before further public consultation takes place in autumn 2022. |
|
|
15.3.2 |
The options set out in this report mean there are difficult choices to be made between social, economic and environmental objectives and a thorough cross-party engagement process is desired to mitigate the risk of the draft plan being rejected by full Council at a later stage. |
|
|
15.4 |
Alternatives Considered and Rejected |
|
|
15.4.1 |
The main spatial options relating to the scale and location of future development are already set out in sections 1.6 and 1.7 of the report. |
|
|
15.4.2 |
Officers could have worked on producing the Publication Draft Local Plan without seeking a specific Member steer on the overall spatial approach. However, to date, it has proved difficult to build a consensus on what is the correct approach for the city; in particular, there has been considerable concern on whether land should be removed from the Green Belt in order to provide more land for development. Without a thorough cross-party engagement process on the overall spatial approach, there would be a very significant risk of the Publication Draft Plan being rejected by full Council. |

15.5 |
Any Interest Declared or Dispensation Granted |

None |

|
15.6 |
Reason for Exemption if Public/Press Excluded During Consideration |
