The Executive Committee considered the Habitats Regulations Delivery Manager’s report, which was an update on the progress made in delivery of new mitigation measures set out in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 Annual Business Plans and ongoing measures from the 2016-17 Plan. It was important that progress continued to be made, or this would put the delivery of partner Authorities Local Plans at risk due to the continued legal duties under the Habitat Regulations. 

The measures outlined in the plan had been debated and endorsed by the Officer Working Group. The plan outlined the delivery of ongoing measures established in the 2016/17 and 2017/18 ABPs, as well as a range of additional measures. In total, the plan earmarked expenditure of an estimated £192,170.

Fergus Pate, Principal Growth Point Officer, Teignbridge District Council, reported on the changes to the car park at Dawlish Warren. The Parking Order had been made and there had been further discussions with the traders which had caused the District Council to look again at its bylaws powers. There was the need to report back to the Executive Committee at the next meeting and make recommendations on changes to the car park at Dawlish Warren as the legal process had been very complex. There would also be a report necessary to be made to Teignbridge District Council’s Executive Committee.

RESOLVED 1. that the progress made in delivering the 2017-18 and 2018-19   Annual Business Plans be noted.

2. that the status of mitigation measures from each of the plans, as well   as explanations given for measures subject to delay and revised completion dates be noted.
