Decision details

The report sets out the key issues around the formation of the Solent Mitigation Partnership which aims to provide strategic mitigation for the increase in nutrient deposition as a result of new development. This will be formalised through the signing of an Inter Authority Agreement by all partners who wish to participate.

The report recommends that the Inter Authority Agreement is signed and that delegated authority is given to the Strategic Director for Place, Operations and Sustainability to agree the Council as a Benefiting Party for projects delivered through the agreement utilising the Local Nutrient Mitigation Fund.

On 6 November 2024, Cllr Derek Tipp, the Portfolio Holder for Planning and Economy made the following decision:

1. That the proposed Inter Authority Agreement be signed, and authority be delegated to the Strategic Director for Place, Operations and Sustainability, to enter into the final agreement, including any minor amendments, following consultation with the Council’s S151 Officer and the Planning and Economy Portfolio Holder.

2. That authority be delegated to the Strategic Director for Place, Operations and Sustainability to agree the Council as a Benefiting Party for projects delivered through the Inter Authority Agreement, following consultation with the Council’s S151 Officer and the Planning and Economy Portfolio Holder.

Any member of the Council, who is not a Portfolio Holder, who considers that this decision should be reviewed should give notice using the call-in facility at the top of this page on the Council’s intranet / extranet site. Alternatively, notice can be given to the Monitoring Officer (Tanya Coulter) (in writing or by e-mail) to be received ON OR BY 5.15 pm on 13 November 2024.
