Issue - meetings

Tom Clark, the Head of Regulatory Services introduced the report.  He noted that the report had been to examination and the examiners suggestions had been incorporated.  If the neighbourhood plan is accepted it will go to a referendum on 25 July 2019. 

The Cabinet Member for Housing and Planning and Ward Member welcomed the report and noted that Slaugham Parish Council did not need to accept more sites for housing due to the development at Pease Pottage.  They had looked objectively at two sites and were happy to accept the Independent Examiner’s modifications.

The Cabinet Member for Community commented that the plan sets out a vision for the parish and without the plan the village is vulnerable to development. He noted the large amount of work in preparing the plan and thanked those involved.

The Leader welcomed the work of Slaugham Parish Council to get the plan through the examination and then moved to the recommendations which were agreed unanimously.

RESOLVED

That Cabinet agreed;

a) To formally accept the Examiner’s recommended modifications to the

Slaugham Neighbourhood Plan to enable the Plan to proceed to

Referendum;

b) To publish the ‘Decision Statement’ as set out at Appendix 2 of the report.
