REASON

The Cabinet Member for Planning & Development reported that the Local Development Scheme, which set out the timetable for the Council’s preparation of the Horsham District Local Plan, required updating because of the impact of the pandemic. The pandemic had adversely effected a number of organisations’ ability to feed into the preparation process within the available timeframe

The previous Local Development Scheme covered the period between June 2019 and June 2022.  The revised scheme would reflect the delays caused by the pandemic and would cover the period from January 2020 to December 2022.

The Cabinet Member recommended publication of the revised scheme to ensure the Council meets its legal obligations and to ensure that the revised timescales are available to residents, stakeholders and the government.
