To consider a report by the Planning Policy Manager requesting the adoption of the revised Framework as Interim Planning Guidance.

Agreed to adopt the Urban Design Framework for the redevelopment of land in and around the old Fire Station site in St Neots as Interim Planning Guidance, subject to the making of any consequential amendments to the text and illustrations of the Brief by the Planning Policy Manager after consultation with the Executive Member for Planning.

Consideration was given to a report by the Head of Planning Services (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book) to which was attached a schedule summarising those representations received during consultation on the Urban Design Framework which would guide the redevelopment of land in and around the old Fire Station site in St Neots.

Having considered the responses received and in noting that the relocation of the waste disposal depot and issues surrounding the provision of a high quality recreational area along with additional car parking would be addressed through the planning process, the Cabinet

RESOLVED

(a)  that the Planning Policy Manager be authorised, after consultation with the Executive Councillor for Planning Strategy, to approve the text and illustrations of the Development Brief document to incorporate the responses referred to in Annex 1 to the report now submitted and any minor consequential amendments; and

(b)  that, following on from (a) above, the Development Brief for the old Fire Station site in St Neots (as amended) be adopted as Interim Planning Guidance.
