The report of the Strategic Director of Place (Document “CG”) concerns the Haworth, Cross Roads & Stanbury Neighbourhood Development Plan which has been prepared by the Parish Council. The Plan has now been subject of an independent examination by Rosemary Kidd and her report confirms that the Plan, subject to the incorporation of a number of modifications meets the Basic Conditions outlined in legislation. She has recommended that the Plan proceeds to local referendum.

The report recommends that the Council agree to all of the proposed modifications and that the modified plan proceeds to referendum. This will take place in May 2021.

The former Chairman of the Parish Council was present at the meeting and stated that the NDP had been a long time in gestation and involved three distinct communities, with differing aspirations, however the Plan had managed to capture the views of these communities, and he expressed his gratitude to all those involved in ensuring the Plan came to fruition. 

A Ward Councillor was also present at the meeting and in welcoming the Plan, explained that it was important that that NDP had managed to capture the distinct heritage of the three villages.

The Regeneration, Planning and Transport Portfolio Holder in echoing the above comments thanked all parties for their invaluable contribution in devising the NDP.
