21.1 The Cabinet
considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and
Transport.
21.2
It was RESOLVED to:
1)
agree, subject to the approval of
Brighton & Hove City Council and the South Downs National Park
Authority, that the Proposed Modifications to the Submission draft
of the Waste and Minerals Revised Policies document, and its
supporting documents, is published for a representation period of
eight weeks.
2)
agree that a revised draft of the
Council’s Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is
published for consultation.
Reason
21.3 With the Waste
and Minerals Revised Policies document now at the Examination
stage, it is clear that the Authorities are at a significantly
advanced stage in the preparation of this Plan. To enable the Examination to be concluded, and a
positive outcome to be reached by the Planning Inspectors, some
modifications need to be made to the version of the Plan that was
originally submitted for Examination.
The Authorities need to give interested parties the opportunity to
comment upon these proposed modifications and, should such comments
be forthcoming, it will be for the Inspectors to consider these as
part of their considerations of the Plan.
21.4 Approval to
publish and consult on the proposed modifications will therefore
allow the Authorities to progress the Waste and Minerals Revised
Policies towards adoption, thereby ensuring an up-to-date Plan
exists in which to consider relevant planning applications
against.
21.5 Approval to consult on a revised draft of the Statement of Community Involvement will ensure that the County Council is compliant with the relevant legislation concerning this matter.
