Report by Head of Place (attached)

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report by the Head of Place (circulated previously) regarding an amended Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document.

 

The Lead Officer Planning Officer highlighted the following:

 

·       Subsequent to the adoption of the Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) by the Committee on 1st June 2020, Natural England had provided the Council with positive feedback.  However Natural England had also identified a minor inconsistency with the advice being provided and the need for clarification, despite the original wording being what they had requested.  They had recommended minor changes to paragraph 7.5 as detailed in the report.  The proposed wording changes to paragraph 7.5 were set out in Appendix A.

·       The revised version of the SPD was being recommended for adoption by Torridge District Council at a meeting tonight.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a)

That the Air Quality SPD be readopted to include the proposed wording changes set out in Appendix A;

 

(b)

That the amended SPD be treated as a material consideration in determining relevant planning applications.
