The Council received an application from Takeley Parish Council for the designation of a Neighbourhood Area on 23 September 2021. In accordance with The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations (Amended 2015 and 2016) the application is for the whole Takeley Parish area and the Council is required to designate the specified area as a neighbourhood area.

Decision:

The Leader is RESOLVED to:

 

1.    To designate the Parish of Takeley as a Neighbourhood Development Plan Area.

 

2.    The Plan Area as submitted by Takeley Parish Council should be supported and adopted as the Takeley Neighbourhood Development Plan Area.

Reasons for the decision:

The Parish Council has stated that the Neighbourhood Plan Area is contiguous with the Parish Boundary of Takeley (Appendix 2). The Parish Council consider that this is the appropriate area to be designated as it is the area administered by Takeley Parish Council.

 

As the application is for the entirety of the parish council area, with no part falling outside the parish boundary, the Council is obliged to approve the proposed "neighbourhood area" for the purposes of a neighbourhood plan. Reg 5A (1), Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
