RESOLVED
 
That the Executive
:

a)   Formally
‘made’ (adopted) the appended Duddington with
Fineshade Neighbourhood Plan and
associated Policies Map at Appendix A following the
referendum held on 5 September 2024 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 Duddington with Fineshade 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 Duddington with
Fineshade Neighbourhood Plan as
appropriate, prior to publication.

 
 
Reason for Recommendations – 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).
