The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Housing Development presented a report from the Director of Place seeking approval for the application by Adderley Parish Council for the three Parish Council areas of Adderley, Moreton Say and Norton in Hales to be considered as a single Neighbourhood Area for the purposes of preparing a Neighbourhood Plan.

RESOLVED:

i)     That the proposed Neighbourhood Area identified on the map in Appendix 2, covering the three Parish Council areas of Adderley, Moreton Say and Norton in Hales (minus the area already covered by the Market Drayton Neighbourhood Area), be agreed as an appropriate basis for the development of a Neighbourhood Plan and notifies Adderley Parish Council accordingly.

ii)    That if the proposed Neighbourhood Area is approved, the three Parish Councils will be able to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for that area, which will be subject to public consultation, examination and local referendum as set out in Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 as amended.  Assuming any subsequent local referendum if successful, Shropshire Council’s full Council will then be asked to adopt the final version of the Neighbourhood Plan.
