The Director for Regeneration and Cultural Services to approve the Council’s statement letter in response (see attached) to the submitted Stainton & Thornton Draft Neighbourhood Plan.

REASON FOR DECISION:

The submitted Stainton & Thornton Draft Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by Stainton & Thornton Parish Council. The Council under the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 (as amended) is required to undertake a six-week public consultation process into the submitted Plan. The six-week public consultation period was undertaken between 5th July – 16th August 2021. As soon as practicable, following the close of the public consultation the Council is required to forward all submitted documentation and representations received during the consultation period, to the relevant appointed independent examiner. It is considered appropriate for the Council to submit a response in respect of the submitted Neighbourhood Plan.

Option 1 - Not to respond to the consultation – this is not considered appropriate as it would not assist in the preparation of a sound Neighbourhood Plan.
Option 2 - N/A.
Option 3 - N/A.
