Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
Agree to make the Lockington and Hemington
Neighbourhood Plan
Reasons for the decision:
In a referendum covering the Lockington and
Hemington Neighbourhood Plan area on 25 January 2024, 95% of those
who voted supported the proposal that the Neighbourhood Plan be
used to help determine planning applications within the
parish.
The Lockington and Hemington 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 25 January 2024. Such a
decision has to be made within 8 weeks of the referendum.
