Purpose

The report seeks to withdraw
the Netherton & South Crosland Neighbourhood Plan Forum
designation which was established for the purposes of progressing a
neighbourhood development plan (NDP). The Forum was designated at
Cabinet 16th November 2021.
 
The Forum Chair has informed
the Council that they are no longer progressing with the
Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), and that the forum would no
longer run. Therefore, under Neighbourhood
Planning Regulation (General) 2012, regulation 12, the forum designation is recommended to be
withdrawn.
 
Had the council not received
formal conformation from the Forum of their intention to not
progress a NPD, the council’s intention was to withdraw the
designation themselves. This was on the grounds of no progress
being made on the NDP, and non-compliance with statutory
requirements in relation to publicising contact details of a forum
member, in the public domain, as set out in section 61F(5) TCPA
1990 and Regulation 8 (Application for designation of a
neighbourhood forum) of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations
(General) 2012.
