Minutes:

Further to Minute 55-18 of the Cabinet Member for Community Development meeting held on 30 January, 2018, the Cabinet Member considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive (Place) which provided results of the referendum on the Willenhall Neighbourhood Plan.

 

At the meeting held on 30 January 2018, the Cabinet Member accepted the Examiner’s recommendations and agreed that the Willenhall Neighbourhood Plan should proceed to referendum. The referendum was held on 3 May 2018 and resulted in a ‘yes’ outcome

 

The Cabinet Member was requested to ‘make’ (adopt) the Willenhall Neighbourhood Plan and bring it into legal force as part of the Local Plan for Coventry. There were not considered to be any reasons not to ‘make’ the Plan nor alternative options. Paragraph 38A (4)(a) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 as amended, requires that the Council must ‘make’ the Neighbourhood Plan if more than half of those voting have voted in favour of the Plan.

 

RESOLVED that the Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities:

 

1.  Considered the results of the referendum and formally agrees to ‘make’ (adopt) the Willenhall Neighbourhood Plan.

 

2.  Approves the Decision Statement attached at Appendix 1 to be published in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General Regulations) (as amended) 2012.
