Issue - meetings

The Council was presented with a report proposing the re-designation of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum.  The Neighbourhood Forum had been designated in 2014 and the Council was advised that the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 specified that a Neighbourhood Forum ceased to have effect after five years.  The report therefore recommended the re-designation of the Forum to ensure that it continued to represent the community in preparing, reviewing or monitoring the delivery of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Plan.

The application had been widely publicised and consulted on, with details published on the Council’s website for eight weeks, a press release prepared and notices published in local newspapers.  In addition, letters had been sent to all households within the Neighbourhood Area.  Six individuals had submitted representations, details of which were set out in the report.

RESOLVED

That (i)    pursuant to Section 61F(5) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended) the Council approves the re-designation of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum for a further period of 5 years for the purposes of supporting the future review of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Plan and to ensure the effective delivery of its requirements; and

          (ii)   the effective date for the re-designation of the Pyrford Neighbourhood Forum should be the date of the Council’s decision on the application, in this regard, 3 December 2020.
