Decision Made

That Cabinet:

1. Agree to adopt the Kirkley Waterfront Planning Position Statement.

2. Authorise the Head of Planning and Building Control, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Coastal Management, to make any presentational or typographical amendments, and make minor factual updates to the Kirkley Waterfront Planning Position Statement prior to it being published

Reason for Decision

Adoption of the Kirkley Waterfront Planning Position Statement will provide up-to-date guidance to assist with the implementation of the Council’s Local Plan policy WLP2.4 – Kirkley Waterfront and Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood – and support the delivery of high-quality comprehensive design, layout and uses of the site

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

An alternative option would be to not adopt the Position Statement. However, this would be a missed opportunity to recognise that the situation has changed in some respects, with updated guidance to assist in the re-development and planning decision-making process.
