Mr Egerton informed
the Committee that Loose Parish was designated as a Neighbourhood
Area in 2013 under the Neighbourhood Planning Act. Loose was consulting on the submission version of
the Neighbourhood Plan. Mr Egerton
stated that Loose had afforded Officers the opportunity to comment
informally on the plan and had responded positively to the
suggestions that had been made.
The Committee
congratulated Loose on the successful work on the Neighbourhood
Plan, and commented that it was positive to see MBC supporting this
process effectively.
The
Committee commented that land ownership issues were not within
the remit of the Committee and that this
aspect should therefore be referred to the Policy and Resources
Committee. There was a need to ensure
that a response was submitted before the deadline of 14 December
2018.
RESOLVED:
That
1.
The Loose Neighbourhood Plan be supported and an
appropriate response be made by the Head of Planning and
Development.
Voting:
Unanimous
2.
A reference be made to the Policy and Resources
Committee on 5 December 2018 regarding the Council’s response
to the Loose Neighbourhood Plan Consultation, with respect to land
ownership issues.
