To seek approval to publish for an eight week
consultation period the draft revised policies in the East Sussex,
South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste and Minerals Local
Plan.
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Made at meeting: 16/03/2020 - Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Decision published: 27/03/2020
Effective from: 24/03/2020
Decision:
36.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
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.

A report on progress made in delivering against the Local Flood Risk Management and to consider the next Delivery Plan, which will be for the period to the end of 2020/21
Decision Maker: Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Made at meeting: 16/03/2020 - Lead Member for Transport and Environment
Decision published: 27/03/2020
Effective from: 24/03/2020
Decision:
37.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
DECISIONS
37.2 RESOLVED to (1) Note the progress made on delivering the actions set out in the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy Delivery Plan 2017/18 (Appendix 1 of the report); and
(2) Endorse the proposed draft Delivery Plan for the period up until the end of March 2023 (Appendix 2 of the report).
Reasons
37.3 The adopted Local Flood Risk Management Strategy commits the County Council to regular reviews of the Delivery Plan. The Delivery Plan outlines strategic actions undertaken by the Risk Management Authorities in East Sussex and other key partners, to address local flooding issues.
37.4 As many of the actions set out in the Delivery Plan often have a long delivery timeframe, it is considered sensible that rather than covering a 12 month period, the Delivery Plan should cover a much longer period in order for reporting on progress to be meaningful.
