RESOLVED
 
That
the Executive made the South-West Kettering (Headlands Community)
Neighbourhood Plan, so that it became part of the statutory
development plan for the area.
 
 

Reason for Recommendation – The plan was approved through
a public referendum, identifying a majority in favour verdict of
making the Plan, in addition the Council is satisfied that the
making of the Plan would not breach, or otherwise be incompatible
with, any EU or human rights obligations. Therefore, the Council is
procedurally required to “make” the Harrington
Neighbourhood Plan part of the statutory development plan for the
Harrington Neighbourhood Area within the timeframe set out by the
Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as
amended).

Alternative Options Considered – The Council is
required by the Localism Act and provisions of the Neighbourhood
Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) to
‘make’ a neighbourhood plan within 8 weeks of the day
following a successful referendum. The only circumstance where the
Council should not make this decision is where the making of the
plan would breach, or would otherwise be incompatible with, any EU
of human rights obligation. Failure to make the Plan would prevent
it being adopted.
