Decision:

To designate the Neighbourhood Area as applied for by Little Missenden Parish Council in their application dated 6 September 2022.

Reasons for the decision:

The Little Missenden Parish Council Application was submitted in accordance with Regulation 5A that was inserted into the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning Regulations.

The effect of Regulation 5A is that if a parish council submits a Neighbourhood Area Application to include the whole of its entire parish council area, the Local Planning Authority must designate the whole of the parish area as a Neighbourhood area.

Alternative options considered:

Due to the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 there are no alternative actions. If a parish council submits a valid application to declare the whole of its parish area as a neighbourhood area the local planning authority has to use its powers to designate the area applied for.

Wards Affected: Chiltern Ridges; Great Missenden; Penn Wood & Old Amersham;

Details of any conflict of interest declared: None declared.
