South Cambridgeshire Local Plan No.2 Proposed Modifications 2002

 

Introduction

Following release of the Inspector's Report in January 2002, the Council published Proposed Modifications to Local Plan No.2 in October 2002.

The South Cambridgeshire Local Plan No.2 is a review of the 1993 Local Plan and will replace it on adoption. The Local Plan was placed on deposit in February 1999, with a schedule of proposed changes issued for consultation October that year. Further proposed changes were published in February 2001.

Outstanding objections to the Deposit Local Plan - and proposed changes to it - were considered by an independent planning inspector at a Local Plan Inquiry held between June 2000 and September 2001.

The Inspector published his report to the Council in January 2002, setting out his findings in respect of the Local Plan.

Council's Response to the Inspector's Recommendations

The Council considered the Inspector's findings and prepared its response to each of his recommendations in two documents: the Response to the Inspector's Recommendations, and the schedule of Proposed Modifications.

How to Use the Proposed Modifications

The Schedule addresses each of the modifications in the same order as they appear in the Local Plan. The first column gives the modification reference number eg M/1/2.11 and M/1/2/SE2. These are made up as follows:

Modification / plan part / chapter or paragraph number / policy number (if appropriate)
The second column shows the proposed modification, with additional or revised text shown in bold, underlined italics and deleted text shown as being struck out. The reason for each modification is given in the third column, including a cross-reference to the relevant Inspector's recommendation where appropriate. The Proposed Modifications should be read in conjunction with the District Council's Consideration of the Inspector's Recommendations document.

Where suggested modifications affect specific sites and/or require amendments to Inset Maps or Proposals Map, they are available to view.

Inset Maps have only been included where modifications have been proposed. They do not show all the policies and proposals contained in the local plan.

The Proposed Modifications should be read in conjunction with the Council's Response to the Inspector's Recommendations, which includes cross-references to each relevant modification.

 

Environmental Appraisal

The Council has also reviewed the Environmental Appraisal that accompanied the Deposit Local Plan to take account of new government guidance and the environmental impact of the Proposed Modifications on the Plan.
