Decision details

Planning Regulations require planning authorities to undertaken assessments of adopted Local Plans every five years, to assess if they remain relevant and effective.  The West Sussex Joint Minerals Local Plan (JMLP) was adopted in July 2018, therefore a five-year assessment has been undertaken.

The review concluded that the JMLP remains relevant and effective and that a formal review (in whole or in part) is not required.

The Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change will be asked to advise the County Council on the outcome of the five-year assessment of the Joint Minerals Local Plan and recommend that a review is not undertaken.

14.1     The Council considered the outcome of the five-yearly assessment of the Joint Minerals Local Plan on whether a formal review, either in whole or in part, is required, in the light of a report by the Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change (pages 31 to 32 and supplement pages 1 to 40).

14.2     An amendment to the recommendation was moved by Cllr O’Kelly and seconded by Cllr Condieas set out below.

‘Recommended

That the Joint Minerals Local Plan is still relevant and effective and does not need to be formally reviewed, in whole or in partbe further assessed for the need for formal review to ensure it is aligned with this Council’s Climate Change Strategy and that the assessment is brought to a future meeting of the Council for decision.’

14.3     The amendment was lost.

14.4     Resolved –

That the Joint Minerals Local Plan is still relevant and effective and does not need to be formally reviewed, in whole or in part.
