PTD.141103.93.1

That the Cabinet be recommended to agree the following paragraph be inserted into the Neighbourhood Plan decision making framework:

 

3a

·         Stage - MBC consulted on submission version of the neighbourhood plan (Ref 16)

 

·         Decision method - Internal consultation with ward members/adjoining ward members/Cabinet Member

 

·         Decision take - Cabinet Member Report to consider MBC comments on submission of draft plan.

 

This is to allow the council to make a response at this formal stage and this response has the weight of a Cabinet Member decision. The Examiner will want to know whether the council, as the local planning authority, is in agreement or not with the plan as it has been submitted and this can best be done through a response during this formal consultation stage.

Cabinet Member for Planning Transport and Development
