DECISION

To approve the Second Review of the Regional Technical Statement and to authorise the Assistant Head of Department to submit confirmation of the Cabinet's approval to Welsh Government.

DISCUSSION

The report was submitted, and the decision noted. The Assistant Head of Department added that it was required to prepare and review the statements in order to provide a strategy for a sufficient supply of building aggregates for the future.  It was noted that the statement recommended how much aggregates that each authority needed to plan for in the Local Development Plans. It was emphasised that when looking at Gwynedd in terms of the statement and on the basis that a reserve supply of aggregates was available and that the department was aware of other areas within the county with an aggregates supply, it was possible that the Council did not need to do anything urgently.  It was expressed, in the long-term, that there would be a need to incorporate the recommendations in the statement when reviewing the Joint Local Development Plan during 2021. 

It was expressed that a public consultation had been held and that the responses could be seen in appendix 2 of the report
