Decision details

Purpose of Report: As a Waste and Minerals Planning Authority, it is our statutory duty to address these issues in York. City of York Council is producing a Joint Plan with North Yorkshire County Council and North York Moors National Park Authority.

Members are asked to approve the publication draft plan for public consultation.

Resolved:  That Executive agree:

(i)           That the draft Minerals and Waste Joint Plan for York, North Yorkshire and North York Moors National Park (at Annex A) be approved for the purposes of publication in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012;

(ii)          That the Executive Member (Transport and Planning) be authorised to make non-substantive editorial changes to the main document (Annex A) and other supporting documents (Annexes B to I) proposed to be published alongside the Plan prior to publication;

         (iii)    That the Director of City and Environmental Services (CES) in consultation with the Executive Member for Transport and Planning be authorised to make changes to the main document (Annex A) and other supporting documents (Annexes B to I) arising from the equivalent Executive meetings at North Yorkshire County Council and North York Moors National Park Authority provided that they are non-substantive in terms of their impact on the City of York area;

(iv)        That the Director of City and Environmental Services (CES) in consultation with the Executive Member for Transport and Planning be authorised to approve any such changes to the Minerals and Waste Joint Plan document as necessary to implement the principles agreed by Members.

(v)         That Officers and the Executive Member for Transport and Planning agree arrangements for consultation with the Executive Member for the Environment in respect of changes to the Plan.

Reason:   (i) & (ii)        So that an NPPF compliant Joint Waste and  Minerals Plan can be progressed;

(iii)     So that the three authorities can make changes specific to their authority areas where they will not impact on the other Joint areas;

(iv)     So that detailed wording of the policies can be agreed between officers at the Joint authorities once approval in principle has been received by all Joint authorities’ Members.
