To seek the Executive’s agreement to the
Council’s response to the Government’s consultation on
‘Planning for the future’ White Paper (August
2020)
RESOLVED that the Executive agrees the content of Bracknell Forest
Council’s response to the Government White Paper ‘Planning for the Future’ as
set out in Appendix A and Appendix B to the Director: Place, Planning and Regenerations report.
It is considered necessary for the Council to respond to the consultation since it
proposes fundamental changes to the planning system including such matters as:
· The content, format and process for Local Plans
· The centralisation of development management policies
· Changes to planning decision making
The alternative option is for the Council not to respond to the consultation. However,
this would mean that the Council would lose the opportunity to influence significant changes to the planning system in England.
