The Strategic Planning Manager
introduced the report and highlighted that Boughton Monchelsea had been designated as a neighbourhood
area since 29 October 2012. A six-week public consultation on the

several occasions. Several minor amendments and one substantive
amendment, with regard to affordable housing, had been
suggested.
