To receive a report from the Director of Place

Cabinet received a report* which provided information on the air quality supplementary planning document (SPD).

The following was highlighted:

• The document outlined how air quality would be imposed for developers and those who wished to make planning applications. It adopted the local plan and provided direction on policies within the local plan on air quality procedures.
• 12 responses had been received during the consultation which had been considered, the Planning Policy Advisory Group (PPAG) were also consulted.

RESOLVED:

1)    The Mid Devon Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document (Appendix 1 to this report) is adopted and this is published on the Council’s website together with its Strategic Environmental Assessment screening report (Appendix 2), Habitats Regulation Assessment Screening report (Appendix 3), Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document Summary Guide (Appendix 4) and Air Quality Supplementary Planning Document Consultation Statement (Appendix 5) and its Adoption Statement (Appendix 6).

2)    The existing Supplementary Planning Document on Air Quality and Development (May 2008) is revoked, removed from the Council’s website and is no longer made publicly available, in accordance with the local planning regulations.
