The Development Plan Document (Appendix 1) has been circulated to all Members under separate cover and is available on the Council’s website

The Cabinet Member for Regeneration presented a report on the Site Specific Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) which focuses on the delivery of the Local Development Framework Core Strategy adopted by the Assembly on 21 July 2010 (Minute 14). 

The Cabinet Member advised that the purpose of the Site Specific Allocations DPD is to resolve the land use implications of the Core Strategy and to consider the future of sites across the borough, not only those sites that may have some development potential but also sites which may need protecting.

The Site Specific Allocations DPD has been subject to extensive consultation and has been approved by the Planning Inspectorate as sound and legally compliant following a number of minor amendments and clarifications as well as some more significant changes which were noted.

Agreed, in order to assist the Council to deliver all of its Community Priorities, to recommend the Assembly to approve the Barking and Dagenham Local Development Framework Site Specific Allocations Development Plan Document.
