RESOLVED
 

That the Executive:

 

a)      
Formally “made”
(adopted) the Great Addington Neighbourhood Plan
(Appendix
A) following the referendum
held on 9th
October 2025 in accordance with
the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012

 

b)      
Authorised the Executive Director
of Place and Economy to publicise the decision made by the
Executive to make the Great Addington Neighbourhood Plan in
accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations
2012 – confirming that the neighbourhood plan has been
made.

 

c)       
Delegated authority to the
Executive Director of Place and Economy to make any minor
typographical or formatting amendments to the Great Addington
Neighbourhood Plan as appropriate, prior to publication.

 

 

Reason for Recommendation
–
To meet the statutory requirements
in relation to Neighbourhood Planning as set out in the Town and
Country Planning Act 1990, the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act
2004, the Localism Act 2011, the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017,
and the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as
amended).

 

Alternative Options Considered
– The Council is required by the Localism Act 2011 (as
amended) and provisions of the Neighbourhood Planning (General)
Regulations 2012 (as amended) to ‘make’ a neighbourhood
plan within 8 weeks of the day following a successful referendum.
The only circumstance where the Council should not make this
decision is where the making of the plan would breach, or would
otherwise be incompatible with, any assimilated law or Convention
Rights (within the meaning of the Human Rights Act
1998).
