Decision:

1.  
Adopt the Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and
Energy Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) as shown in Appendix 1
of this report, and

2.  
Withdraw the Climate Change, Sustainable Design, Construction and
Energy Supplementary Planning Document (2020).
Reason(s):

1.      
Adopting the new SPD will provide detailed guidance
for adopted Local Plan policy that addresses climate change and
sustainability. This will help ensure clarity and consistency in
decision making and help to deliver sustainable
development.

2.      
The new SPD replaces the 2020 SPD, which is no
longer required. Keeping it in place would complicate the planning
process unnecessarily.
Other options considered and rejected by the
Executive:
None.
Details of any conflict of interest declared by
the Leader or lead councillors and any dispensation
granted:
None.
