Decision:
Agree to 'make' the Blackfordby Neighbourhood
Plan.
Reasons for the decision:
In a referendum in the that part of the Ashby
Town Council area covered by the Blackfordby Neighbourhood Plan
area on 7 April 2022 2021 89.3% of those who voted supported the
proposal that the Neighbourhood Plan be used to help determine
planning applications within the parish.
The Blackfordby Neighbourhood Plan meets the Basic Conditions and
its preparation process has been compliant with legal and
procedural requirements. Paragraph 38A(4)(a) of the Planning and
Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires the Council to make the
Neighbourhood Plan if more than half of those voting in the
referendum have voted in favour of the Plan being used to help
decide planning applications in the area.
Alternative options considered:
The council has to decide whether to 'make'
the plan following the Referendum on 7 April 2022. Such a decision
has to be made within 8 weeks of the referendum.
