Issue - meetings

As detailed in the recommendation.

Councillor Bithell introduced the Adoption of Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG) Note – Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) report which sought final approval for formal adoption.

            The SPG had been prepared jointly by Flintshire, Denbighshire and Wrexham Councils and had been the subject of an extensive public consultation exercise.  The SPG was being recommended to each Local Planning Authority for adoption.

            The aim of the SPG was to improve the quality of development in and around the AONB and to ensure that the AONB was a design consideration from the earliest stages of designing a development. 

            The Chief Officer (Planning, Environment and Economy) commented on the appendices which were the summary of comments and responses and recommended changes, and the revised SPG showing the amendments.

RESOLVED:

That the adoption of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Supplementary Planning Guidance be approved so that it can be given weight as a material planning consideration when considering relevant planning enquiries, applications and appeals.
