The Holmes Chapel Neighbourhood Development Plan was submitted to the Council in August 2016 and, following a statutory publicity period, proceeded to Independent Examination. The Examiner’s report has now been received and recommends that, subject to some minor modifications, the Plan should proceed to referendum.
The Council is committed to supporting neighbourhood planning in Cheshire East. It has a legal duty to provide advice and assistance on neighbourhood plans, to hold an independent examination on neighbourhood plans submitted to the Council and to make arrangements for a referendum following a favourable Examiner’s Report.
Subject to the modifications set out in the Examiner’s Report, the Holmes Chapel Neighbourhood Plan is considered to meet the statutory basic conditions and procedural requirements set out in Schedule 10, paragraph 8, of the Localism Act and as such it can now proceed to referendum.
