Decision taken
Cabinet agreed that:
a)   
The Draft Sustainability SPD (Appendix A) be subject to public
consultation for a period of six weeks; and
b)   
The associated SEA/HRA Screening Report is consulted upon with the
consultation bodies/nature conservation body for a period of six
weeks
 
Reason for decision
The SPD had been prepared to provide
additional information on sustainability expectations for
development proposals within the borough and encourage higher
standards.
 
The SPD was part of the overall response to
the climate change emergency declared in 2019 and aligns with the
key corporate priorities of action on climate change.
