Equality
The Equality Act 2010 provides protection from discrimination in respect of certain protected characteristics, namely: age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or beliefs and sex and sexual orientation. It places the Council under a legal duty to have due regard to the advancement of equality in the exercise of its powers including planning powers. The Committee must be mindful of this duty inter alia when determining all planning applications. In particular the Committee must pay due regard to the need to:
(1) eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Act;
(2) advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it; and
(3) foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.
