Schedule of Potential Main Modifications

Representation ID: 29508

Received: 04/11/2021

Respondent: Essex County Council

Representation Summary:

4. Consistent with National Policy

A Local Planning Authority needs certainty of impacts from development prior to the determination of planning applications.

The proposed modification to paragraph 8.19 makes it clear that where insufficient information is provided to demonstrate the impacts (including cumulatively) of development on wildlife then the Council should refuse applications and not use conditions to secure such information.

This reflects ECC’s Reg.19 Rep 22418 and the position in the Statement of Common Ground (F17D) between BBC and ECC.
