Appropriate Assessment received by the Local Planning Authority on 10/05/22

NO OBJECTION

Based on the plans submitted, Natural England considers that the proposed development will not have significant adverse impacts on designated sites and has no objection. Natural England’s further advice on designated sites and advice on other natural environment issues is set out below.

In granting the original permission, a condition was attached to the approval relating to the phasing of the development. The condition relating to phasing was condition 4, which has been submitted for initial discharge based on the information currently held by the developer. The application for discharge of condition 6 relates to Phase

3 of this proposed phasing plan, and the submission is therefore considered on the basis of a partial discharge.

The submitted information has been considered by Natural England. Given the information supporting the application, no objection has been raised to the proposed development and it is considered that the development will not have an adverse effect on the integrity of the Teesmouth and Cleveland Coast Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site.

Given the response from Natural England it is considered that condition 6 can be partially discharged in so far as it relates to Phase 3 of the development as consented under application R-2022/0343/ESM-Officer Report on 16/06/22.

Taking into account the content of the report the recommendation is condition 6 can be partially discharged in so far as it relates to Phase 3 of the outline development as consented under application R-2022/0343/ESM-Officer Report on 16/06/22.
