Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

As part of the Kent Minerals and Waste Local Plan 2013-30 Independent Examination, the Government-appointed inspector determined that further guidance on minerals and waste safeguarding matters was required to ensure that the process is followed in a clear and consistent manner in compliance with national planning guidance. A draft minerals and waste SPD was prepared and considered at the November 2016 Environment and Transport Cabinet Committee prior to public consultation. Public consultation took place in December 2016 to January 2017 and the SPD has been adjusted accordingly. A decision is required by the Cabinet Member to adopt the 2017 SPD to enable its use in guidance to the planning proces and to meet the Inspector's expectations.

Decision:

As Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport, I agree to adopt the Kent Minerals and Waste Safeguarding Supplementary Planning Document March 2017 and to delegate the Director of Environment, Planning and Enforcement authorisation to make any further minor modifications which may be needed such as formatting changes and typographical errors in order to publish to Minerals and Waste Safeguarding Supplementary Planning Document.
