Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Leader of the Council.

The Leader of the Council submitted a report seeking approval to adopt the Walkern Neighbourhood Parish Plan following the Referendum of 5 July 2018.  Council noted the outcome of the Referendum with an overall ‘yes’ vote of 515 against 25 who voted ‘no’.  Under the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended by the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017), the Council was now able to make the Neighbourhood Plan as more than half of those voting in the Referendum had voted in favour of the Plan being used to determine planning applications in the area. 

Councillor L Haysey moved, and Councillor K Crofton seconded, a motion that the recommendation now detailed, be approved.  After being put to the meeting, and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.

Council approved the recommendation now detailed.

RESOLVED – that the Walkern Parish Neighbourhood Plan, as detailed at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ to the report submitted, be formally ‘made’ and used as part of the Development Plan.
