2  To agree that if the proposed Neighbourhood Area is approved, Bishops Castle Town Council 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 is successful, Shropshire Council’s full Council will then be asked to adopt the final version of the Neighbourhood Plan.
