Cllr Bush asked residents to contact MKC to comment on the NP and give their support.\u00a0 TY to send the link<\/p>\n

Cllr Bush informed that once the consultation period was over, we get closer to policies of the NP holding some weight which is very relevant given that we have planning applications being examined by MK.\u00a0 Cllr Bush reported that one application had a problem with newts and one other had issues on the Highways according to MKC.<\/p>\n

Cllr Bush spoke about the stages after the consultation period was over as follows:<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MKC would appoint an examiner<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Either a public examination if an objector requests<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Examiner goes through plan and comments<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Possibly amended plan depending on examiner<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MKC Electoral Services arranges a Parish Poll<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Planning Law<\/p>\n

Cllr Bush added that there was a statement from the Government that because a lot of local authorities have been slow to adopt NP even when they are passed it comes into force as soon as the referendum goes through.\u00a0 Cllr Bush hopes that a Poll would take place in spring\/summer time.\u00a0 Cllr Bush asked the Ward Cllrs whether the Parish were allowed to campaign for a yes vote.\u00a0 Cllr Geary confirmed they do and Cllr McLean added that door to door flyers requesting resident\u2019s comments would be a good idea.<\/p>\n

Cllr Bush confirmed that there was no NPSG meeting this month.<\/p>\n

Cllr McLean suggested the Parish write to Planning and ask what the timescales be from examination to when the referendum would take place. Action WB<\/p>\n

Mr Powell asked what affect the 3 year housing plan had on the NP in which Cllr Geary advised that it should not make any difference.\u00a0 Cllr Bush added that there was a Ministerial statement made before Christmas which basically said that where a local authority does not have a 5 year land supply, there has been an argument that any NP policies could not be up to date either and that the statement said this was not the case as long as 3 things happen \u2013<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The local authority does have a 3 year supply<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The NP is no more than 2 years from inception<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The NP had allocated more housing than it was required to under the Local Plan<\/p>\n
