Minutes: (KEY DECISION)
Report No. 134/2018 was received from the Interim Director of Places.
Mr G Brown, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Planning, Environment, Property and Finance introduced the report, the purpose of which was to seek approval from Cabinet for further specific consultation to be undertaken with respect to the formulation of the new Rutland Local Plan. This consultation was being undertaken in order to fully consider the implications of incorporating the potential development of St. George’s Barracks into the Local Plan.
Mr Brown provided a summary of the purpose of the report as follows:
The purpose of this report is to seek approval of Cabinet for a specific consultation to consider modifications to the emerging new Local Plan for Rutland and seek the views of the residents of the County on the attached documents. Those views will be considered by Cabinet and Council as part of their consideration of the developing Local Plan later this year.
This will allow full consideration of the implications of incorporating the potential development of the brownfield site at St George’s Barracks into the Local Plan.
The incorporation of the development provides an opportunity to reduce the scale of housing allocations in other locations across the County from those previously proposed in the Draft Plan in July 2017.
First of all St George’s. As you will recall the Council reached an agreement with the MOD through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the autumn of 2017 after the Draft Local Plan had been published. This was to examine the scope for the development on this brownfield site planned for closure in 2021. A high level MasterPlan providing “initial concepts” was produced and has been the subject of considerable public consultation which was reported upon last week.
During the early part of 2017, when the Local Plan was being produced in its draft form, there was no robust evidence to enable detailed consideration of St George’s for its inclusion in the Plan. A number of responses to that consultation specifically highlighted that it would be desirable if the Local Plan could articulate the potential re-use of this site.
The MoU proposes a garden village of between 1500 to 3000 homes together with new employment, shops, education, health and community facilities.
Within the paper to Cabinet and the consultation document an attempt has been made to explain what a garden village means in a Rutland context although this will be further developed with the Advisory Group and the Project Board and ultimately for approval by Cabinet and Council later this year.
There are a number of key issues which impact the scope of the development which need to be addressed
All these issues will need ... view the full minutes text for item 180. |
