Minutes:

Councillor Alan Sitkin (Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Business Development) introduced the report of the Director of Regeneration and Environment (No.154) seeking approval of the proposed submission Edmonton Leeside Area Action Plan.

 

NOTED

 

1.               That this had formerly been known as the Central Leeside Area Action Plan. The Plan was ambitious and aimed to deliver the spatial vision and land use strategy for this part of south east Enfield which included Meridian Water, as detailed in the report. The Plan reflected the progress which had been made to date and the aspirations for the future including employment in the area.

 

Alternative Options Considered: None. Having an adopted and comprehensive planning framework for the area provided a basis for setting the area specific planning policies by which decisions on development could be guided. This was essential to support the Council’s regeneration programme, for on-going as well as future investment opportunities.

 

DECISION: The Cabinet agreed

 

1.               To endorse the Proposed Submission Edmonton Leeside Area Action Plan and recommended to Council its approval for publication, under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, and thereafter be subject to a statutory period of public consultation and submission to the Secretary of State for public examination.

 

2.               That the Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Business Development be delegated authority to agree the publication of the supplementary documents (assessment and supporting evidence base documents) of the Proposed Submission Edmonton Leeside Area Action Plan.

 

3.               That the Director of Regeneration and Environment be delegated authority to make appropriate changes to the submission version of the Edmonton Leeside Area Action Plan and undertake any further consultation required, in the run up to and during the public examination process into the document, in response to representations received, requests from the Planning Inspector and any emerging evidence, guidance or legal advice. Changes of a substantive nature would be considered by the Local Plan Cabinet Sub-Committee.

 

RECOMMENDED TO COUNCIL to approve the Proposed Submission Edmonton Leeside Area Action Plan for publication, under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, and thereafter be subject to a statutory period of public consultation and submission to the Secretary of State for public examination.

 

Reason: To fulfil the following aims:

·       Supporting an acquisition strategy

·       Providing a planning framework against which the Council could determine planning applications at Meridian Water and the wider Edmonton Leeside area.

·       Providing a took with which the Council could measure and assess the master developer’s plans; and

·       Giving the Council the confidence of having a long-term planning approach to Meridian Water
