DECISIONS

 

36.2     RESOLVED (1) to note progress on the Waste and Minerals Local Plan Review;

 

(2) To agree the Waste and Minerals Local Plan: Draft Revised Policies, as set out in Appendix 1 of the report, for publication and consultation in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012; and

 

(3) To authorise the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport, in consultation with the Lead Member for Transport and Environment, to agree to any minor amendments to the Waste and Minerals Local Plan: Draft Revised Policies, prior to publication and consultation.

 

Reasons

 

36.3     The Waste and Minerals Local Plan: Draft Revised Policies (RPD) is a Local Plan document. Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 requires that Local Planning Authorities “invite ... representations to the local planning authority about what a local plan with that subject ought to contain.” The consultation(s) on the RPD will ensure that the RPD meets this requirement. If all partner Authorities agree, the draft Local Plan Review will be published for public consultation in spring 2020 for a period of at least eight weeks, in line with the Authorities’ various Statements of Community Involvement.

 

36.4     The RPD may, prior to consultation, be subject to minor amendments owing to possible requests by Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park Authority, who are co-authors of the Plan, through their own approvals processes.
