Decision details

78.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport which provided a response to a proposed Notice of Motion from Councillors O’Keeffe and Earl.

DECISIONS

78.2     RESOLVED to recommend that the County Council (1) reject the Notice of Motion from Councillors O’Keeffe and Earl, because it does not recognise the range of strategies already adopted by the County Council that promote the natural environment, and the need to work with partners to enhance the delivery of improvements to the natural environment; and

(2) agree an amended Notice of Motion as set out in paragraph 2.6 of the report. 

Reasons

78.3     Enhancement of the natural environment is already recognised by the County Council in the production of relevant strategies and in decision taking in implementing the strategies and other related action.  The County Council also works with partners to identify opportunities to further improve green infrastructure.
