Issue - meetings

Councillor Holloway provided the following update on the South Newnham Neighbourhood Plan which was as follows:

      i.         The Neighbourhood Forum was redesignated on 21 July 2022 following a public consultation on the application to reapply as a Forum.

    ii.         A total of eleven comments were received on the redesignation, five in support and six in objection.

   iii.         The role of the Forum was to prepare a neighbourhood plan, anyone in the local area can contribute to preparing the plan and engage in public consultation on the draft plan.

  iv.         Once the plan has been through the examination process, the local community would be able to vote in a local referendum to decide whether the plan should be used to determine planning applications in the area. 

Councillor Holloway then thanked all those who had been involved in the process so far and encouraged all residents in Newnham to engage in the process.
