Council considered the recommendation from the Executive on a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the emerging Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), and seeking Members’ agreement to publish the draft Affordable Housing SPD for public consultation.
Councillor L Haysey proposed, and Councillor T Page seconded, a motion that the recommendations as detailed in the report be approved. After being put to the meeting, and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.
RESOLVED - that (A) in accordance with the Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 it has been determined that a Strategic Environmental Assessment of the emerging Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) is not required as it is unlikely to have significant environmental effects; and
(B) the draft Affordable Housing Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), be agreed and published for a period of public consultation.
