Minutes:
A report seeking approval to further extend existing planning relaxations relating to recovery of town centre business activity and approval for the continued application of an addendum to the Council’s Enforcement & Monitoring Charter was considered.
This addendum provides clarity to officers, complainants and land owners of the weighting that Covid-19 and its relevance to the unauthorised development will be afforded in the setting timescales and the processes that will be followed when seeing to resolve a breach of planning control.
Decision
The Committee agreed to:
1. approve that the Planning Position Statement (Appendix A), (setting out the relaxation of planning controls within designated town centres as previously approved by the Council Leadership Group in July 2020, and subsequently extended on 29 October 2020 and by PPSL on 17 March 2021) be further extended until 31 March 2022; and
2. approve the Addendum to the Enforcement & Monitoring Charter (Appendix B) for a further temporary period expiring 31 March 2022, subject to periodic review in the event of updated guidance being provided by the Scottish Government.
