Report of the Leader

RESOLVED THAT

the designation of a Neighbourhood Area covering Leckhampton with Warden Hill parish be approved.

The Leader, Councillor Jordan introduced the report. The report explained that an application to designate a Neighbourhood Plan Area had been received from Leckhampton with Warden Hill Parish Council. This application had been assessed against the requirements set out in the legislation and was considered to meet the requirements to enable designation of the Neighbourhood Area.

Following the Council resolution, the Cabinet were being asked to approve the designation to ensure a response was given within the eight week timescale. This would enable Leckhampton with Warden Hill Parish Council to prepare a Neighbourhood Development Plan for the area covered by the designation.

Cabinet Members agreed that neighbourhood plans were something that the council was keen to encourage as it facilitiated local people making local decisions about their areas. It was noted that the council may need to give some consideration to how the process might work for non-parished areas.

 RESOLVED THAT

the designation of a Neighbourhood Area covering Leckhampton with Warden Hill parish be approved.
