  • Habitats Regulation Assessment Scoping Report

    Habitats Regulation Assessment Scoping Report

    Hambleton District Council Local Plan Habitats Regulations Assessment Scoping Report January 2016 Summary The Habitats Directive1 seeks to protect the integrity of Natura 2000 sites and requires a Habitats Regulations Assessment to be undertaken to assess the implications of the plan or project on Natura 2000 sites, which includes Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Areas (SPA) and RAMSAR sites. The key principle is to adopt the precautionary approach and to preserve the integrity of sites. The sites identified for inclusion in the assessment are: SAC North York Moors Strensall Common River Derwent North Pennine Moors North Pennine Dales Meadows SPA North York Moors North Pennine Moors Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Ramsar Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast The Hambleton Local Plan will allocate land for housing and commercial development to meet the growth of the District up to 2035. Introduction 1 The Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/34/EEC) Requirement to carry out an assessment under the Habitats Regulations Articles 6 (3) and 6 (4) of the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) (Directive 92/43/EEC) require an assessment to be undertaken for plans and projects that are likely to have a significant effect, alone or in combination with other plans and projects, on one or more European sites (Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation). Article 6(3) states: ‘Any plan or project not directly connected with or necessary to the management of the site but likely to have a significant effect thereon, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, shall be subject to appropriate assessment of its implications for the site in view of the site’s conservation objectives.

    Carbon Capture and Storage the Second Competition for Government

    Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy Carbon capture and storage: the second competition for government support HC 950 SESSION 2016-17 20 JANUARY 2017 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 785 people. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of £1.21 billion in 2015. Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy Carbon capture and storage: the second competition for government support Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on 18 January 2017 This report has been prepared under Section 6 of the National Audit Act 1983 for presentation to the House of Commons in accordance with Section 9 of the Act Sir Amyas Morse KCB Comptroller and Auditor General National Audit Office 13 January 2017 HC 950 | £10.00 This report examines how the Department of Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy designed and ran the second competition for government support of carbon capture and storage before its cancellation in January 2016.

  • CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020

    CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020

    CEF - Covid-19 Community Group Support Funding September 2020 Offering financial assistance to local volunteer groups and networks who are responding to and recovering from the Covid-19 crisis. Please note the funding should only be used for such associated costs. Aim of the funding The aim of The CEF Covid-19 community support funding is to provide a ‘community float’. This will enable local voluntary groups to access financial assistance to support their activities that help communities to connect again. How do community networks access the funding? The funding is held by the Community Support Organisations (CSO) to administer on behalf of Selby District Council. The CSO will be responsible for coordinating and supporting a network of local voluntary community groups. Under this agreement the CSO will agree a simple payment system with each group across the CSOs network can access the fund. Each group that receives funding will need to produce proof of expenditure (i.e. receipts/invoices.) What expenditure is eligible? The funding can be used flexibly to enable groups to operate smoothly without financial barriers. How the funding has been used will be reviewed / discussed at each reporting stage but it is reasonable to conclude that this is likely to be: . Volunteer expenses (might be mileage, refreshments) in relation to covid-19 response/recovery activity . PPE (gloves, sanitisers etc) . Cleaning/sanitary equipment/items . Administrative/marketing supplies (printing, stamps, stationary etc) . Equipment to enable delivery of services (i.e. phone credit, games, social distance signage) What is not eligible? . Personal payments or financial assistance of any kind.
  • SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning Regulations, in Particular, Remain Notoriously Complex

    SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning Regulations, in Particular, Remain Notoriously Complex

    In common with all recent Governments, the Coalition has often declared its ambition to “cut red tape”. Yet only modest gains have been achieved. SIMPLIFIED PLANNING Planning regulations, in particular, remain notoriously complex. 118 Acts combine to create a “lawyer’s banquet” of complexity. The result is an unnecessarily lengthy and costly planning procedure which enables vested interests to prosper, Simplifi ed planning creates commercial uncertainty and restricts new development. The renewed interest in Garden Cities is to be welcomed. Applying the lessons of The case for sunset clauses the success of Milton Keynes (and that of the Urban Development Corporations) could lead to a new era of privately-fi nanced Garden Cities, thereby easing the current housing shortage while also spurring growth. KEITH BOYFIELD AND INNA ALI The fi rst step must be to rationalise all planning regulation in a New Consolidated Act.; and to introduce sunset clauses for all new planning regulations.
