Report of the Strategic Director of Place

Presented by the Infrastructure Portfolio Holder

The Infrastructure Portfolio Holder presented the report. The Portfolio Holder advised Members on the process through which the report had been produced, noting that drafts of the document had gone before the Cabinet and the Local Plan Committee in September 2022. Following this there had been a public consultation, detailed in Appendix B. There was an unavoidable risk that when central Government produced their own guidance, this document could become obsolete, but should this occur Officers would advise Members on how to proceed in due course.

It was moved by Councillor K Merrie, seconded by Councillor T Gillard and

RESOLVED THAT:

The Local Plan Committee be requested to adopt the Air Quality Supplementary Document attached at Appendix A.

Reason for Decision: The preparation of a Supplementary Planning Document is a Cabinet function.
