·           Draft Listed Buildings Supplementary Planning Document

·           Draft Final Sustainability Reports for both SPDs (on the website)

Minutes:

The Planning Portfolio Holder and New Communities Portfolio Holder considered a report seeking agreement for Supplementary Planning Documents relating to Biodiversity and Listed Buildings to be published for consultation.

 

It was noted that the Biodiversity Strategy produced in August 2006 was a biodiversity steering document for the Council as a whole and had been adopted as Council policy.   On the other hand, the Biodiversity SPD would be a planning specific document, referring back to the Strategy where appropriate in order to avoid repetition.

 

Councillor Wotherspoon suggested that members of Council be invited to discuss issues of general concern at an informal meeting to be chaired by him during the consultation period.  The two Portfolio Holders considered this a good idea and instructed the two Corporate Managers to make appropriate arrangements.

 

The Planning Portfolio Holder and New Communities Portfolio Holder endorsed the following documents for public consultation:

·           Draft Biodiversity Supplementary Planning Document

·           Draft Listed Buildings Supplementary Planning Document

·           Draft Final Sustainability Reports for both SPDs (on the website)

·           Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report Addendum for the Listed Buildings SPD

subject to the Corporate Manager (Planning and Sustainable Communities)  making minor amendments to the documents, where appropriate
