Minutes:

Cabinet considered the recommendations submitted to it by the Planning Policy and Local Planning Committee following that Committee’s  consideration of the Conservation Character Appraisals and Management Plans for Great Clacton, Lawford, Bradfield and Ramsey.

 

Cabinet also heard the following statement from the Portfolio Holder of Planning:-

 

“I thank the Planning Policy and Local Plan Committee for its consideration of these latest Conservation Area Character Appraisals and Management Plans and I sincerely welcome, once again, its recommendation to Cabinet that these be published for public consultation. Reviewing all of the District’s Conservation Areas is one of the key actions in the Council’s Heritage Strategy and the progress so far has been very good, with now only three Conservation Areas remaining to be considered. Ensuring we have an up-to-date appraisal for each and every Conservation Area will enable residents, developers, planners and our Planning Committee to understand the key characteristics that make each area special and which need to be preserved and enhanced when making planning applications and determining them. They will also enable us to reconsider the boundaries of each area and determine whether any Article 4 Directions are needed to provide an extra level of protection and control.”

 

Having duly considered the recommendations submitted to Cabinet by the Planning Policy and Local Plan Committee:-

 

It was moved by Councillor Baker, seconded by Councillor Barry and:-

 

RESOLVED That Cabinet resolves that the new Great Clacton, Lawford, Bradfield and Ramsey Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans (Appendices 1 to 4 to report A.4) be approved for consultation with the public and other interested parties.
