Towards the end of this period the
District Council applied for direction under Paragraph 1(3) of
Schedule 8 to the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to
effectively extend the life of the policies within the Local Plan
until they are replaced through the Local Development Documents.
All policies except the following six policies therefore remain
saved: EU1, EU2, EU5, HG5, HG13 and HG14. The letters below
represent the formal decisions that have been made for these
policies.
The
Letter to GOSW (Government Office for the South West) requested
the extension of Local Plan Policies and Proposals for a
further period until their replacement by the LDF.
Appendix 1: Schedule of Policies and Proposals to be Saved
lists those Policies and Proposals which SSDC requested be
saved; and
Appendix 2: Schedule of Policies and Proposals Not to be
Saved lists Policies that were inconsistent
with recent National Policy and policies that concerned
proposals that had been implemented.
The Letter from GOSW agreed these lists with
the exception of three policies that they considered should also
not be saved. ie Policy EU2: Wind Turbines and Policies
HG13/HG14: Sites for Travelling Show People.
The District Council has commenced work on the new South
Somerset Local Development Framework which will replace the
Local Plan and cover the period to 2026. Details of the programme
for the LDF can be found within the
Local Development Scheme 2007-2010. A revised LDS is currently
being drafted.
