Blakeney
Neighbourhood Plan
|
Executive
Summary
|
The purpose of this report is to formally
“make” the Blakeney Neighbourhood Plan as part of the
statutory Development Plan for North Norfolk. The Plan was subject
to independent examination and successful referendum on the
14th September 2023. The Council has a
legal duty to “make” the neighbourhood plan within 8
weeks of the day after the referendum (10th November 2023) was held
unless it considers that doing so would breach European Union
Obligations.
|
Options
considered.
|
1. Bring the Referendum version of the
Blakeney Neighbourhood Plan, into effect as soon as practical and
within the 8-week time frame. This would mean that the Blakeney
NP forms part of the Council’s statutory Development Plan for
North Norfolk and be a material consideration in the determination
of planning applications in the identified Blakeney Neighbourhood
Plan Area.
2. To not bring the Blakeney Neighbourhood
Plan into effect. This would mean that the Neighbourhood Plan
would not form part of the Development Plan for North Norfolk and
would not become a material consideration in the determination of
planning applications.
|
Consultation(s)
|
Earlier iterations of the Neighbourhood Plan
have undergone public consultation under Regulation 14 and 16 of
the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended).
The submitted version of the neighbourhood plan has undergone
independent examination and the final modified version has been
subject to a public referendum in accordance with Paragraph 12(4)
of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 on the
14th September 2023.
