Minutes:

The Leader of the Council submitted a report seeking approval to adopt the Braughing Neighbourhood Parish Plan following the Referendum of 26 July 2018.  Council noted the outcome of the Referendum with an overall ‘yes’ vote of 327 against 72 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 P Boylan, speaking as the Parish Council Chairman, praised the extensive work undertaken by local volunteers, some of whom were present in the public gallery, and paid tribute to the effort and commitment shown by a number of contributors.  He expressed his thanks to everyone involved.

 

Councillor B Harris-Quinney, as the local ward Member, expressed his support for the proposal.

 

Councillor L Haysey moved, and Councillor P Boylan 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 Braughing 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.
