Issue - decisions

That the Church Street Ward Neighbourhood Forum be re-designated for a further period of 5 years and a formal designation notice be published under delegated authority by the Director of Policy, Performance and Communications.

Reasons for Decision 

Section 61F(7) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as inserted by the Localism Act, Schedule 9) sets out the conditions that a neighbourhood forum must meet, as well as the considerations that a local planning authority must consider when determining an application for the designation of a neighbourhood forum.  The existing Church Street Ward Neighbourhood Forum meets all these conditions and there has been no change in this since the original designation.

In their application for re-designation the Forum state that their goal is to provide guidance for further development in the area, not only through their neighbourhood plan but also by ongoing engagement and communication with the community. The Forum also state in the application that their main focus this year has been to engage with the council in regard to the Masterplan for Church Street. They will continue to engage with the council as the Masterplan evolves.

Consultation on the re-designation of the Church Street Ward Neighbourhood Forum did not attract any objections or competing applications.
