To confirm the making of Marton Neighbourhood Plan

That approval be given for the Marton Neighbourhood Plan to be made, and to form part of the Development Plan for Cheshire East.

The Marton Neighbourhood Development Plan was submitted to Cheshire East Council in February 2016 and, following a statutory publicity period, proceeded to Independent Examination.  The Examiner’s report recommended that, subject to some minor modifications, the Plan should proceed to referendum.

A referendum on the neighbourhood plan was held on 27 October.  This returned a positive vote in favour of using the neighbourhood plan to help determine planning applications in the neighbourhood area.

RESOLVED - That approval be given for the Marton Neighbourhood Plan to be made, and to form part of the Development Plan for Cheshire East.
