That:

1)        the comments on the Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan, as outlined in the report, be approved; and

2)        they be submitted to Shinfield Parish Council as a formal objection to their consultation on the Pre-Submission Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan.

The Executive considered a report setting out the Council’s response to the Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan which once approved would become part of the Development Plan and therefore carry significant weight in the determination of planning applications in or affecting Shinfield Parish.

The Deputy Executive Member for Planning and Highways advised that Shinfield Parish Council were currently undertaking their pre-submission consultation on their Neighbourhood Plan and because of a disparity between their Plan and some Council policies it was necessary to put in a formal objection.  Councillor Halsall however understood that the Parish Council had agreed to the Council’s objections and would therefore be incorporating them into their Neighbourhood Plan.

RESOLVED that:

1)        the comments on the Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan, as outlined in the report, be approved; and

2)        they be submitted to Shinfield Parish Council as a formal objection to their consultation on the Pre-Submission Shinfield Neighbourhood Plan.
