Decision:

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.
