Decision details

Arising from a *report of the Environment and Enforcement Manager the Environment Policy Development Group had made the following recommendations:

·         To resolve to make and bring into force the draft PSPO at Appendix A.

·         To instruct Officers to bring to the Environment PDG a draft variation of the PSPO (once made) to include the land identified by Hemyock for consideration for consultation.
