To seek authorisation to publish the Decision
Statement for the Linby Neighbourhood Plan and to proceed to
referendum.
THAT:
1)the modifications to the draft Linby Neighbourhood Plan as
recommended by the Examiner’s Report at Appendix 2 are
approved;
2)the Decision Statement at Appendix 4 is approved and published in
accordance with Regulation 18 of the Neighbourhood Planning
(General) Regulations 2012; and
3)the Linby Neighbourhood Plan: Final Plan as amended at Appendix 3
is approved to go forward to referendum for the confirmed area of
the Parish of Linby as shown at Appendix 1.
To ensure that the Borough Council, as Local
Planning Authority, can execute its statutory duty to assist in the
production of Neighbourhood Plans in accordance with the 2012
Regulations in a timely and efficient manner.
The policies contained within the Linby
Neighbourhood Plan will assist in delivering the Borough
Council’s corporate priorities in supporting economic growth
and ensuring a sustainable and thriving local economy and
maintaining and enhancing residents’ quality of life. One
option would be not to agree to the modifications proposed by the
Examiner, or propose different modifications. However, it is
considered that the modifications proposed by the Examiner ensure
the Neighbourhood Plan meets all the relevant legal and procedural
requirements, so to not adopt or adopt different modifications
would mean that the plan was not suitable for adoption.
Gedling Borough Council could recommend a different or wider area
for the referendum but the referendum area recommended by the
Examiner accords with the neighbourhood plan area and there is no
justification for recommending a different or wider area.
