Cabinet considered the head of planning’s report on the Radley Neighbourhood Plan.  The report sought Cabinet’s recommendation to Council to make the plan part of the council’s development plan.

Cabinet noted that the plan was compatible with the current European Union obligations and complied with the Habitats Regulation Assessment.  It would also retain green space and community networks valued by local residents and would allow Radley to benefit from the advantages that growth could offer to the community and local infrastructure. 

The referendum, held on 13 September 2018, had resulted in 87 per cent support for the neighbourhood plan.  Therefore, the Cabinet member for planning recommended that Cabinet supported a recommendation to Council to make the neighbourhood plan part of this council’s development plan.  Cabinet supported the recommendation. 

RECOMMENDED to Council to: 

(a)      make the Radley Neighbourhood Development Plan so that it continues to be part of this council’s development plan; and

(b)      authorise the head of planning, in agreement with the Qualifying Body, to correct any spelling, grammatical, typographical or factual errors in the neighbourhood plan, together with any improvements from a presentational perspective.
