Members received the submitted report on the ‘Torbay Local Plan (A landscape for success: The Plan for Torbay - 2012 to 2030 and beyond)’ which would form the legal basis for decisions on spatial planning matters within the Bay over the next fifteen years plus.

(iii) that as a consequence, the current Adopted Torbay Local Plan (1995-2011) be superseded by the newly Adopted Torbay Local Plan (2012-2030) with immediate effect following Adoption;
(iv) that following Adoption, the Local Plan Adoption Statement and related documentation be made available in accordance with Regulation 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations, and that interested parties be notified accordingly;
(v) that Members agree to the retention of the existing planning guidance and Adopted Supplementary Planning Documents listed in Section 8 of Appendix 1 to the submitted report as supplementary planning guidance for development management purposes, pending their review, consolidation or replacement; and

(a) the consequential compilation, editing (including typographical, grammatical and document layout matters) printing and publication of the final modified versions of the Adopted Local Plan and Policies Map booklet (including the interactive online version), Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulations Assessment;
(b) the establishment of a South Devon Delivery Review Panel (or similar) to facilitate the implementation and delivery of the Local Plan’s development strategy, including requisite liaison and partnership with adjoining local authorities as part of the Council’s duty to cooperate;
(c) the continued involvement in preparation of Neighbourhood Plans through appropriate mentoring and provision of professional advice, in order to secure, as a matter of urgency, the delivery of compliant Neighbourhood Plans for Submission to the Council by the end of March 2016;
(d) the development and implementation of appropriate monitoring mechanisms to ensure that key determinants of the Local Plan development strategy are monitored on a consistent and regular basis (usually annually), in particular the delivery of new homes and jobs;
