Issue - meetings

The Leader submitted a report recommending the Sustainability Appraisal Adoption Statement for publication alongside the District Plan.  This document communicated the likely significant effects of an emerging plan, and the reasonable alternatives considered during the plan-making process.  It aimed to inform and influence the plan-making process with a view to avoiding or mitigating negative effects and maximising positive effects. 

Councillor Haysey moved, and Councillor S Rutland-Barsby seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed, be supported.  After being put to the meeting, and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

The Executive supported the proposals now detailed.

RECOMMENDED – that (A) the content of the Sustainability Appraisal Adoption Statement as set out in Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ of the report submitted, be noted; and

(B)       the Sustainability Appraisal Adoption Statement be published alongside the adopted District Plan 2011-2033 in accordance with Regulation 16 of the Strategic Environmental Assessment Regulations 2004.

As noted earlier in the meeting (Minute 166 refers), this item had been withdrawn.
