Decision details

Minerals and Waste Plan: Inception and Timetable

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To seek approval to commence a review of the Minerals and Waste Plan and the timetable for that review. Once adopted the Plan will form part of the development plan for the city (alongside the Southampton City Vision Local Plan) against which planning applications are determined. The current Minerals and Waste Plan was adopted in 2013 and needs to be reviewed. This will be undertaken in partnership with Hampshire County Council, Portsmouth City Council, the New Forest National Park Authority and the South Downs National Park Authority

Decision:

(i)  To approve the need to start an update of the Minerals and Waste Plan based on the review.

(ii)  To note the timetable for updating the Minerals and Waste Plan as set out at paragraph 16 (and aligned with the Hampshire Local Development Scheme).

Reasons for the decision:

The Plan has been kept under review in line with statutory requirements, and the latest review concludes an update of the Plan is needed.

Alternative options considered:

If the Plan were not updated it would become increasingly out dated and would be less effective in the determination of relevant planning applications.

Other Relevant Matters Concerning the Decision:

None
