It identifies the basic actions we must collectively take if we are to protect and enhance the key biodiversity of this region. The UK Government recognises its international obligations and the economic urgency to protect biodiversity and ecosystems. This LBAP is part of that delivery and local reporting mechanism. Only those habitats and species meeting the UKBAP definitions of ‘Priority Habitat’ or ‘Priority Species’ are included in the targets for the Lowland Derbyshire Action Plans. The history and rationale behind the Local Biodiversity Action Plan is given in the Introduction.

  • Local Environment Agency Pi
    local environment agency pi DOVE ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW AUGUST 1999 Ashbourne Dove LEAP Foreword I am delighted to introduce the Consultation Draft for the Dove Local Environment Agency Plan. This is the third LEAP to be produced in the Upper Trent Area of the Midlands Region and looks at environmental issues within the River Dove catchment. The Agency in consultation with key organisations has identified a number of environmental issues relevant to this area. We need to confirm that we have addressed all current issues and the options to resolve them, taking into account the often conflicting demands on the environment by its users. The LEAP process will provide a vision for the environmental needs of the River Dove area. It will provide a framework within which we can seek to develop new partnerships with organisations and bodies with whom we wish to share a common approach on environmental , issues. This report is published as part of our commitment to being open and consulting with others about our work. This will be part of a major consultation exercise and marks the start of a three month period of consultation. Following the consultation period the Agency will produce a five year action plan which will set out a costed programme of work by the Agency and other organisations. Annual reviews over the five year period will report on significant achievements and progress being made on the issues. Your views are extremely important. Only by letting us know your opinions will we be able to make a real difference to your local environment.

STRATEGIC ISSUES 29 Appendix 1: Timeline of Engagement with Prescribed 66 Bodies on Local Plan Local Plan Appendix 2: Documents listed in Appendix 1 82 Page | 1 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Strategic planning seeks to ensure that social, economic and environmental issues are properly addressed at a larger then local scale. This acknowledges that the activities of people, businesses and services may have consequences which go beyond a single local authority area. 1.2 In order to address strategic planning issues, relevant local authorities and other public bodies are required to work together through the ‘duty to co- operate’ as set out in the Localism Act 2011 and described further in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and National Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). The purpose of the duty is to ensure that local authorities and public bodies that are critical to plan making, cooperate with each other and are involved in continual constructive and active engagement as part of the planning process 1.3 The purpose of this Interim Statement is to provide an overview of how the Council is working to meet its obligations under the Duty to Cooperate with regard to the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan. It covers work up to the pre- submission version of the Local Plan. This statement has been issued alongside the Pre-Submission version of the Local Plan to enable all neighbouring authorities, prescribed bodies and all other interested parties to comment on this legal requirement through representation to the Pre- Submission Local Plan.

Sand and gravel is an aggregate mineral of both local and national importance, of which there are proven resources in Derbyshire and Derby. In terms of aggregate, the NPPF states that MPAs must plan for a steady and adequate supply through the preparation of a Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA), which will identify the amount of aggregate that will be required to be provided over the Plan period. The Derbyshire, Derby and Peak District LAA (2016) has identified a need for a further 2.03 million tonnes of sand and gravel to be provided from Derbyshire and Derby over the Plan period to 2030. The Minerals Local Plan will allocate sites to provide for this. This paper sets out illustrative assessments of all seven sites that have been put forward as potential allocations for sand and gravel working in the Minerals Local Plan. These are based on the draft site assessment methodology that is being published alongside this paper.

Publicity and Consultation In preparing the SPG the Councils are required to consult the general public, businesses, and other interested parties and take their views into account before finalising the document. The way in which the Councils have carried out this requirement is set out in the Statement of Publicity and Consultation and the Schedule of Representations, included in this edition of the SPG.
