Decision details

RESOLVED

(1)            That Cabinet accepted the Examiner’s report and recommended modifications to the Plan as set out in the Decision Statement at Appendix 1 of the report in their entirety, and that the Plan, as amended, be taken forward to a referendum within the Parish as outlined in the report.

(2)            That following a successful referendum, if more than half of those voting in the referendum vote in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan, the Managing Director should bring the Neighbourhood Plan into effect (‘Made’).

REASONS FOR DECISION – The Brampton Neighbourhood Plan has been subject to examination by an independent examiner. The Examiner’s view is that subject to specified modifications the Plan meets the Basic Conditions and other relevant legal requirements. It is considered that, subject to the modifications set out in the Decision Statement, the Draft Neighbourhood Plan would meet the legal requirements and Basic Conditions as set out in legislation, and that the Plan should proceed to Referendum.

OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – The option of not accepting the Examiner’s recommendations was considered but rejected for the reasons set out in the report.

Please note that this was not a Key Decision so can be implemented by officers with immediate effect.
