The Planning Policy Officer
introduced the report and informed the Committee of a typographical
error, whereby recommendation two referred to point 1.8, rather
than point 2.8 of the report. A minor modification to the plan,
through the addition of an addendum was recommended to the
Committee, as a result of a Natural
England Advice Note published in July 2020. The proposed addendum
was shown in point 2.8 of the report.
The Planning Policy Officer
highlighted that a post-examination neighbourhood plan would hold
significant material consideration, significant weight would follow
a decision to proceed to referendum, with full weight given
following a successful referendum. In line with government
guidance, no referendums would take place until 6 May
2020.
RESOLVED: That
1.
The modifications to the Lenham Neighbourhood Development Plan as set out in
the examiner’s report be agreed;
2.
The minor amendments agreed with Lenham Parish Council, as set out in paragraph 2.8
of the report, be agreed; and
3.
The Lenham Neighbourhood
Development Plan proceed to local referendum be agreed.
