Gretton neighbourhood plan

A NOTICE FROM NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COUNCIL

GRETTON NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

Decision Statement published pursuant to Section 38A (9) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and Regulation 19 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012

North Northamptonshire Council on 22 June 2021 resolved to make the Gretton Neighbourhood Plan under Section 38A (4) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The Gretton Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the development plan for the area.

Reasons for the Decision

The Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions and is 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 upon the plan have voted in favour of the plan being used to help decide planning applications in the area. 87.95% of those voting supported the plan in a referendum on 6 May 2021.

The Council has assessed that the making of the plan would not breach or would not otherwise be incompatible with, any EU obligation or any Convention rights (within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998).

In accordance with the regulations the Gretton Neighbourhood Plan is ‘made’ and will be used to help decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area alongside existing planning policies and their successors.
