Issue - meetings

The Leader submitted a report on the Standon Neighbourhood Development Plan, following the Referendum of 25 July 2019.

She thanked Members for attending this extraordinary Council meeting which was necessary due to the tight timetable required by law for the outcome of the Referendum to be implemented.  The Standon Neighbourhood Development Plan was another example of the phenomenal work of the community.  The Neighbourhood Development Plan would come under the District Plan, so would align with the policies adopted by the Council.  Once approved, the Plan would become a material document in determining planning applications.  Councillor Haysey paid tribute to the organisers. 

Councillor L Haysey moved, and Councillor J Goodeve seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed be approved.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.  Council approved the recommendations, as now detailed. 

RESOLVED - that the Standon Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan, as detailed at Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ to the report, be formally ‘made’ and incorporated as part of the Development Plan.

To recommend to Council that the Standon Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan, as detailed in Essential Reference Paper ‘B’ to the report, be formally ‘made’ and used as part of the Development Plan.

The Leader submitted a report on the adoption of the Standon Neighbourhood Development Plan.  The District was fortunate in having a number of parishes which had taken up the neighbourhood planning process, and she felt that it was well worth the time and effort put in, to enable the policies chosen by local communities to become material planning documents.  She paid tribute to a volunteer who had contributed significantly to the process, who had died before the neighbourhood plan could be adopted.   

Councillor L Haysey moved and Councillor P Boylan seconded, a motion that the recommendations now detailed be approved.  After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, the motion was declared CARRIED.  The Executive approved the recommendations now detailed.
