Issue - meetings

(To receive a report from the Executive Director – Place which invites the Executive to endorse the Review of the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan and to recommend it to the full County Council for adoption)

1.    That the Executive endorses the Review of the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan and recommends to the full County Council that the whole Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan is updated in accordance with the programme set out in the proposed Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Development Scheme;

2.    That the Executive authorises the Head of Planning Services to make any minor amendments to the Review of Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan and the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Development Scheme before they are considered by the full County Council, which may be necessary to allow them to be published on the County Council's website.

Consideration was given to a report by the Executive Director – Place which outlined that a provisional review of the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan had recently been undertaken by officers in accordance with the statutory procedure. This concluded that a number of policies required updating, but that it would be beneficial to update the whole plan in order to ensure that the policies remained consistent.

Councillor C R Oxby, Vice Chairman of the Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee summarised some of the comments made by the Committee when it considered the report at its meeting on 12 January 2021 and highlighted that concerns had been raised regarding Policy W5 and that some decisions would be considered by the district council and others by the County Council, and it was thought that a more consistent approach was required.  However, the Committee had unanimously supported the recommendations set out in the report.
