Decision:
That, following a referendum result in favour
of the neighbourhood plan, the decision is made that The Ivers
Neighbourhood Plan be made part of the Buckinghamshire Development
Plan
Reasons for the decision:
The Ivers Neighbourhood Plan has passed all
the formal stages required before it can be made. Buckinghamshire
Council must now make the plan.
Under the Councils Scheme of delegations, the decision to
‘make’ a Neighbourhood Plan is delegated to the
Director of Planning and the Environment.
(The Council has considered the European and human rights
implications of the Neighbourhood Plan as part of its consideration
of the draft Plan and the Examiner’s report and it is not
considered to contravene those rights.)
Alternative options considered:
If a neighbourhood plan is supported by the
majority of people who vote in a referendum then the Local Planning
Authority have to make the plan, within 8 weeks of the day after
the referendum is held, in accordance with the relevant regulations
unless the plan would be in breach of European legislation or the
Convention on Human Rights. as set out above the majority of people
who voted supported the plan and the council does not consider the
plan would breach the relevant legislation. as such there are no
alternative actions allowed by the regulations.
