Decision Maker: South and East Devon Habitat Regulations Executive Committee

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: The report set out an update on the status of the risk register and the potential impact specifically of three identified major risks: ·        Changes to the Habitats Regulations as identified in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill (at the time of the meeting, at the House of Lords) ·        Local Government Reorganisation ·        Delays to mitigation measures identified in the annual business plan.   Due to the timescales of the legislation for the first two items, the Executive Committee were concerned but not in a position to debate further until more was known from Government.  As the outcomes became clearer, the Executive Committee would be kept informed.   RESOLVED that the Executive Committee: 1.     Notes the identification, categorisation and prioritisation of risks as recorded in the accompanying Risk Register, associated with the delivery of the South East Devon Wildlife – Joint Habitats Sites Mitigation Strategy; 2.     Notes the control measures in place to mitigate the risks identified; 3.     Received an updated Risk Register report in 12 months.

Date of Decision: October 30, 2025
