Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Bithell introduced the Adoption of a Developer Advice Note and Supplementary Guidance Relating to Newt Mitigation report which sought final approval to formally adopt two Planning Guidance notes. 

            The Developer Guidance Note on Speculative Development had previously been adopted, but without full public consultation.  It has now been subject to public consultation and could be formally adopted as an Advice Note.  The Newt Mitigation Note was a new Note, which had been produced to accompany the existing Supplementary Planning Guidance Note no 8 Nature Conservation, to add greater detailed advice on mitigation measures associated with Great Crested Newts.  That Note could be adopted as formal Supplementary Planning Guidance.

RESOLVED:

That the adoption of the Speculative Development Advice Note and the Newt Mitigation Supplementary Planning Guidance Note be approved so that they can be given weight as material planning considerations when considering relevant planning applications.
