The Executive was reminded that in November 2018 it had agreed that the draft Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area Avoidance Strategy Supplementary Planning Document (2018) be subject to a six week consultation.

 

Members were informed that, following this consultation, agreement was now sought to adopt the Thames Basin Heath SPA Avoidance Strategy as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD). The main changes made to the SPD as a result of the consultation were noted.

 

The SPD would provide additional guidance to policies in the Surrey Heath Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Development Plan Document adopted in 2012. The SPD also set out the approach that the Council would take to avoiding harm to the Special Protection Area as a result of new housing development.
