Minutes:

The New Communities Senior Planning Officer and representatives from AECOM presented an update on progress on the Sustainability Appraisal process.

 

It was confirmed that the Sustainability Appraisal would inform a range of documents including the Environmental Statement and Development Consent Orders. Emerging finding would be brought to future meetings of the Local Plan Leadership group for discussion, before they go out for consultation.

 

Members highlighted inconsistency in the names of some areas within the draft Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report, as well as further points for clarification including the M11 constraints and the green space in Hatfield Heath. The Chair requested that members contact the New Communities Senior Planning Officer if they have any further points of clarity.

 

The Group noted the report.
