The officer introduced the item
and gave Members an overview of the history behind the application,
which was supported by relevant location plans and elevation photos
looking along the routes marked in the plans. A historical sale

estate.

County Council Consultation Responses - Shale Gas PDF 199 KB To consider a report from the Head of Strategic Planning regarding County Council response to the following consultations: 1. Proposed changes to permitted development rights for non-hydraulic shale gas exploration; and 2. Proposed criteria to trigger the inclusion of shale gas production projects into the Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects regime
Minutes: The Committee received a report from the Head of Strategic Planning regarding the County Councils’ response to recent consultations.
The officer summarised the report which had been received with significant public interest. Full Council had previously considered a motion relating to the consultations in September 2018. As part of it’s response, Hampshire County Council has reiterated a plea to central government to be kept better informed regarding further consultations and government announcements relating to shale gas development going forward, so the County Council is better informed to respond to public enquiries.
Whilst it was acknowledged that it would have been ideal to seek opinions from the Regulatory Committee before a response was submitted, the timings had made this difficult but discussion had taken place with Councillor Latham as Chairman of the Regulatory Committee, and also Councillor Humby as the Executive Member for Environment and Transport.
The Committee would be updated on any future developments.
RESOLVED a) The Committee noted the content of the response to the consultation on proposed changes to permitted development rights for non-hydraulic shale gas exploration b)
The Committee noted the contents of the response to
the consultation to proposed criteria to trigger the inclusion of
shale gas production projects into the Nationally Significant
Infrastructure Projects regime. |
