Decision details

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Economy, Transport and Environment regarding the 2020 Review of the Hampshire Minerals & Waste Plan and revised Development Scheme.

At the invitation of the Chairman, Councillor Porter addressed Cabinet, welcoming the development of the Plan and requesting that policies on oil extraction, good neighbour criteria for aggregate sites and carbon emissions be considered as part of the review.

The context of the process of reviewing the Plan with partners was set out and it was noted that a partial update was required to ensure consistency with national policy and the County Council’s policy framework. All partners would need to agree the proposals to take forward and a funding agreement was in place to share the costs of the review.

Members recognised that making sound planning decisions relied on working in partnership and noted that discussions so far had been positive.

The recommendations set out in the report were considered and agreed. A

decision record is attached to these minutes.
