That Option 2 be approved and the process set out in the report, with the following amendments, be agreed:

 

(i)      That the Habitat Plan and Site Layout plan be improved for the final copy of the Management Framework.

 

(ii)      The Ecological Assessment should be made more specific to York species, particularly in relation to Bats etc but without being over-prescriptive.

(iv)     The value of the land as a community resource should be upfront in the Management Framework.
