Decision

The Officer introduced the report and noted that the Chipping Campden Neighbourhood Plan had completed consultation and examination, with modifications recommended by the examiner and previously considered by the Committee. Following a referendum on the modified version, 757 votes were cast, representing a turnout of 36.7%; 95% voted in favour and 5% against, exceeding the required 50% support threshold.

The Plan was already being used by officers to inform planning decisions but required formal adoption into the Council’s development plan framework. Once adopted, planning applications in Chipping Campden would be assessed against both the current Local Plan and the Neighbourhood Plan.
