Decision

That the Director of Place and Growth, in consultation with the Executive Member for Planning and Local Plan, authorises any necessary minor spelling, grammatical, typographical or factual corrections to the plan and supporting document prior to the adopted version being made available for publication.

Reasons for the decision

At their meeting on 21 September 2023, Council made (adopted) the Finchampstead Neighbourhood Plan, which now forms part of the statutory Development Plan. The Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) Regulations 2012 require the local planning authority to make the neighbourhood plan and Decision Statement publicly available (as soon as possible) on the website and at local deposit points.
Further checks of the Plan have identified a small number of factual changes to improve clarity for the decision-maker and some presentational changes to improve the accessibility of the document for the reader.

Alternative options considered

None – regulations require this step to be carried out.
