STRATEGIC PLANNING MATTERS - ST IPPOLYTS NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING AREA

Decision type: Key

Reason Key: Affects 2 or more wards;

Decision status: Deleted

Notice of proposed decision first published: 10/07/2018

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The precise timing of the application was unknown. Applications or requests by Parish Councils to the District Council in relation to neighbourhood planning matters cannot necessarily be anticipated or coordinated with Forward Planning / Committee cycles in the same way as internal decisions.

There is no alternate decision which can be made. In this instance, the relevant regulations require that the Council must exercise its powers to approve the area applied for. Waiting until the next Cabinet cycle incurs an unnecessary delay.

To ensure St Ippolyts is not unnecessarily or unfairly penalised for its unusual administrative geography.
