Decision Maker: Environmental Scrutiny Committee

Made at meeting: 03/10/2017 - Environmental Scrutiny Committee

Decision published: 16/11/2017

Effeithiol O: 03/10/2017

Decision:

Members noted the content of the ‘First Cardiff Local Development Plan Annual Monitoring Report’ that was presented to Cabinet at its meeting on Thursday 21st September 2017.  The Principal Scrutiny Officer talked Members through the content of the report, this included the structure of the document, key findings and recommendations.  Members agreed with the view that it was too early to draw any real long term conclusions from the report and that it should be used as an initial baseline document against which future progress should be measured.  The Committee agreed to include the ‘Second Cardiff Local Development Plan Annual Monitoring Report’ to the list of potential work programme ideas for 2018/19; the suggested aim would be to scrutinise this document against the progress achieved in terms of delivering Cardiff’s Local Development Plan and comparing this against the baseline figures set out in the ‘First Cardiff Local Development Plan Annual Monitoring Report’.

 

In addition to deferring more detailed scrutiny of the ‘Second Cardiff Local Development Plan Annual Monitoring Report’ to 2018/19 Members stressed the long term importance of driving 50:50 modal shift.  They felt that Cardiff’s Local Development Plan was an important vehicle for driving 50:50 modal shift and that scrutinising the transport element of this was very important going forward, as a result the Committee is very keen to scrutinise any future transport plans for Cardiff, this would include the green paper on transport due to be produced before the end of the 2017/18 financial year.  

 

Finally, the Committee are aware that the Council is updating a number of Supplementary Planning Guidance documents that link directly into the progressing Cardiff’s Local Development Plan.  Members confirmed that they will review the suite of new Supplementary Planning Guidance documents and look to scrutinise these during 2017/18 should they feel it is appropriate. 

 

AGREED – That the report be noted.
