1. Site Liaison Panels

1.1 It has been an established practice of the County Council to support the creation of local Site Liaison Panels comprising representatives of local communities, operating companies and the regulatory authorities. The purpose of these Panels is to discuss on- and off-site operations and development progress, particularly with regard to site working and restoration, and to foster understanding of the needs of the different parties affected by mineral and waste operations. Formal Terms of Reference for Site Liaison Panels were adopted by the Regulatory Committee in July 2002. The majority of the Site Liaison Panels are managed by the County Council and chaired by a Member of the Regulatory Committee. The attached appendix lists the current Site Liaison Panels.

1.2 Due to the time which has elapsed since the Terms of Reference were adopted by the Regulatory Committee, and the resource implications in maintaining the Site Liaison Panels, it is considered that there is the need for a review of their role and function. Consequently a report will be brought to the Committee later this year. However, in the interim it is considered that they should continue, and therefore there is the need for the Committee to appoint Members to Chair these Site Liaison Panels.

Recommendations

1. That the Committee endorses the continuation of the Site Liaison Panels pending review.

2. That Members of the Committee are appointed to Chair the Site Liaison Panels.
