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:
