Claverton Neighbourhood Development Plan
Decision Maker: Director Development and Public Protection
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No

Purpose:
The Localism Act 2011 has reformed the
planning system to give local people new rights to shape the
development of the communities in which they live.
The Act provides for a new type of community-led initiative known
as a Neighbourhood Development Plan which sets out the policies on
the development and use of land in a parish or ‘Neighbourhood
Area’.
The Council has a duty to assist communities in the preparation of
Neighbourhood Development Plans and orders and to take a Plan
through a process of examination and referendum and to bring the
Neighbourhood Plan into force. This duty includes making the plan
as soon as is reasonably practicable but in any event within 8
weeks after the referendum approving the plan has taken
place.
Decision:
Make and bring into force the Claverton
Neighbourhood Development Plan as part of the Development Plan for
the Claverton Neighbourhood Area, in accordance with Section 38A(4)
of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended by the
Localism Act 2011 and the Housing and Planning Act 2016).
Following the Cabinet decision on the 16/01/2020 (E3188) the plan
will be brought into force.
