The Executive Member is asked to consider the adoption of York’s Third Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3), taking into account the views and/or recommendations of Economic Development and Transport Policy and Scrutiny Committee expressed at its ‘pre-decision call-in’ meeting held prior to this decision making session.

 

Additional documents:

Decision:

The Executive Member considered a report which presented him with the final draft of York’s Third Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP3), summarised the results of the public consultation and provided an update on new evidence relating to air quality and public health.

 

The Executive Member formally received the views of the Economic Development and Transport Policy and Scrutiny Committee Pre Decision Call In Committee which had met prior to his decision making session. He appreciated that the committee was largely supportive of the plan as drafted but that it had made a number of comments which it would like him to take into account before approving the plan.  In view of the significance of the plan, the Executive Member felt that more time was needed to respond to and address the implications associated with the comments made by the scrutiny committee. He was therefore minded to request a further report covering those comments which related to:

economic viability; affordability; green infrastructure; an implementation plan; delivery targets and to the specific comments circulated by Councillor D’Agorne in advance of the meeting.

 

Resolved:   That a further decision session be arranged in December to consider a report addressing the comments set out above made by the pre-decision scrutiny committee together with their implications.

 

Reason:      To enable a full report to be considered reviewing the issues and their implications.
