Decision Maker: Strategic Director for Places

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose: Report No.72/2025 was introduced by Councillor C Wise, Portfolio Holder for Transport, Environment and Communities. Before opening for debate, Councillor Wise proposed an amendment to the first recommendation to increase the visibility of Rutland Ospreys in the report, noting that Ospreys were not originally part of the protected designations but should be mentioned in the main report. However it was decided there was a lot of value in emphasising the priority species, specific to Rutland not only for their Biodiversity value but for the additional benefits such as ecotourism for the area. The amendment delegated authority to the Strategic Director of Places in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Transport, Environment and Communities to sign off an amendment to include osprey information. This was proposed by Councillor Wise and seconded. Upon being put to the vote, with seven votes in favour, the motion was unanimously carried.
