Decision details

Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan: Adoption

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider the report of the Leader of the Council recommending to Council the adoption of the Hampshire Minerals and Waste Plan. This will then form part of the development plan for the city against which relevant planning applications will be judged. An independent planning inspector has made 'main modifications' which, legally, must be incorporated for the plan to be adopted. The Plan has been prepared jointly with Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council, and the national park authorities for the New Forest and South Downs.

Decision:

(i)  To note the Inspector’s report.

(ii)  To note that the Minerals and Waste Plan (2013) will supersede the saved policies of the Minerals and Waste Local Plan (1998) and the Minerals and Waste Core Strategy (2007).

(iii)  To recommend to Council that it approves the adoption of the Minerals and Waste Plan (2013) which incorporates the Inspector’s Main Modifications and Additional Modifications. 

Reasons for the decision:

  1. To provide up to date planning policies for minerals and waste development.
  2. To enable minor changes to be made as each authority approves the plan.

Alternative options considered:

It is a statutory requirement to produce the Plan.  The 1998 / 2007 Plans are out of date and incomplete.
