Kinver Neighbourhood Plan

Kinver Neighbourhood development plan 

Decision Statement published pursuant to the Localism Act 2011 Schedule 38A (9) and Regulations 19 and 20 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012

South Staffordshire Council decided by resolution of Cabinet Member for Business Enterprise and Community Infrastructure on 20th September 2023 to make the Kinver Neighbourhood Development Plan under Section 38A(4) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended). The Kinver Neighbourhood Development Plan now forms part of the Development Plan for South Staffordshire.

Reasons for Decision

The Kinver Neighbourhood Plan meets the statutory Basic Conditions, and the process of its development is compliant with legal and procedural requirements. Paragraph 38A(4)(a) of the Planning and Compulsory Act 2004 requires the Council to make the Neighbourhood Plan if more than half of those voting in a public referendum have voted in favour of the Plan being used to help decide planning applications in the area. The plan was endorsed by more than the required threshold in the referendum of 24 August 2023.
