Eleven Local Plan Review Policies Expire on 24.7.08
Government Regulations, relating to the Planning and Compulsory
Purchase Act 2004, dealing with the transition from Local Plans to
Local Development Frameworks, state that Local Plan policies are
only automatically ‘saved’, that is, in force, for three years
after the date of adoption of the plan. This three year period ends
on 24.7.08.
The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government has
decided that the majority of the Braintree District Local Plan
Review policies can be ‘saved’ and should continue to apply after
24.7.08, with the exception of the following eleven policies, which
will expire on that date.
Policies which expire on 24.7.08
RLP23 Provision for Gypsies and Travelling Showpersons
RLP43 Atlas Works Site, Earls Colne
RLP57 Freeport Special Policy Area
RLP66 Flood Risk in Developed and Urban Areas
RLP67 Flood Risk in Undeveloped Areas
RLP68 Functional Floodplains
RLP130 Indoor Sport and Leisure Site, Braintree Retail Park
RLP131 Swimming Pool, Millennium Way, Braintree
RLP132 Community Swimming Pool, Ramsey School, Halstead
RLP156 Community Uses Site, Colchester Road, Halstead
RLP165 Monitoring
All of the plan, except for the eleven policies which
expired on 24.7.08, is ‘saved’ and will continue to remain in force
until it is replaced in whole, or part by approved policies in the
Core Strategy and Development Management Documents, which will
replace the Local Plan Review in due course.

Inspector's Report:
The Inspector's
Report on objections to the Local Plan Review was received by the
Council on 20th December 2004. This sets out Mr Braithwaite's
recommendations on each of the objections. This is in three
parts: a covering letter, Part One dealing with policy objections
and Part Two with site specific objections.

Report: Part One

Report: Part Two
In his report, the Inspector refers to the Local Plan Review,
which is made up of the Revised Deposit Plan, plus changes made to
the Plan in the Pre-Inquiry Changes and Council's Concessions made
during the Local Plan Inquiry. These three documents have
been combined into one, in order to make it easier to refer to the
Local Plan Review, as it stood at that time. This combined
document is set out here:

Changes and Concessions made during Inquiry
The Inspector's recommendations were considered by the Council's
Regulatory Committee on 26th January 2005 and by Full Council on
16th February 2005. The Council have accepted all of the
Inspector's recommendations.
