Scrutiny of the draft National Development Framework
Supporting documents:
- Restricted enclosure 46
Minutes:
Business
Managers considered the letter from the CCERA Committee and noted that
statutory requirements in relation to policy matters did not usually have
corresponding Standing Order provisions.
The
Trefnydd indicated that the Minister for Housing and Local Government is
content to comply with all three of the committee’s recommendations, without
the need for them to be set out in Standing Orders:
·
The Minister will lay the draft NDF a
consultation report setting out the issues raised during the consultation and
including a response to CCERA’s recommendations and conclusions; a schedule of
changes the Minister intends to make following consideration of the
consultation responses and committee recommendations, and an updated integrated
sustainability appraisal.
·
The Minister will write to all committee chairs
once the draft NDF is laid.
·
The Minister welcomes a plenary debate on the
NDF and believes it accords with the approach envisaged by the Planning (Wales)
Act 2015. The debate will take place during the Assembly’s 60-day
consideration period so the government can reflect on the Assembly’s decision
and the recommendations of the committee(s) in a timely manner.
The
Trefnydd indicated she would confirm this response in writing to the Business
Committee, so that it can respond to the CCERA committee in those terms.
The
Committee agreed that this was an appropriate response that would enable the
spirit of the CCERA recommendation to be applied.
