Sandbach Neighbourhood Plan - Decision to make the Plan

The Sandbach eighbourhood Plan had been submitted to the Council in July 2015 and, following a statutory period, proceeded to Independent Examination.  The Examiner’s report recommended that, pending a series of modifications to the Plan, the Plan would meet the prescribed requirements and should proceed to Referendum. 

 

A Referendum was held on 24 March 2016 and returned a positive vote in favour of using the Neighbourhood Plan to help determine planning applications in the neighbourhood area. 

 

Paragraph 38A(4)(a) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 required that where half or more of those voting in the Plan Referendum vote in favour of the Plan, that the Council make the Neighbourhood Plan and adopt it as part of the Development Plan.
