Purpose

To advise Members on new advice from Natural
England with regards to the criteria used in decision making around
development proposals within the Brecks SPA Protected zone.

Decision

RESOLVED
that the new advice be noted as a material
consideration for the purposes of determining planning applications
within the Brecks Special Protection Area (SPA) and buffer areas
and as evidence for work on the local plan update.
 

Reasons for the decision

This is a Statutory
Requirement and will help provide robust decision making on
relevant planning applications. 
 

Alternative options considered

This is a Statutory Requirement and not
applying the latest advice from Natural England when decision
making leaves the Council open to potential legal challenge.
