Cllr Thatcher read out the following report from Cllr Bush.<\/p>\n

Status report on Sherington Neighbourhood Plan 31st<\/sup> March 2016<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This note summarises the views of the Chairman of the Sherington Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (NPSG) as expressed at the most recent meeting on the 29th<\/sup> March 2016.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The NPSG has reached a challenging point in the development of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP).\u00a0 The success of the High Street Appeal has a number of impacts on the direction that we take.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first and most obvious, is that there will now be at least 36 houses built in Sherington over the life of the Plan, rather than the 24 houses envisaged by Policy H1.\u00a0 This means that this policy will need to be changed.\u00a0 Further, the Government will soon be introducing a register of Brownfield sites, where housing will be encouraged.\u00a0 The land at Water Lane is likely to be developed during the life of the NP, whether it is allocated or not, and the Parish Council would find it difficult with the current national planning policies to prevent this from happening.\u00a0 This means that the NP will need to contemplate at least 48 new dwellings in order to be robust.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second impact, is the conclusion reached by the Appeal Inspector that Sherington is a sustainable location for housing development.\u00a0 This in conjunction with MKC acceptance that it does not have a 5-year housing land supply, allowing its policies to be treated as \u201cnot up to date\u201d.\u00a0 This makes it highly likely that further planning applications will come forward in Sherington, against which we will need a robust defence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We believe that the completion of a NP remains in the interest of the Village.\u00a0 The Appeal Inspector made clear in her decision that the policies of an \u201cadopted\u201d NP would be given full weight in determining an appeal, even if the policies of MKC continued to be treated as \u201cout of date\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The challenge which the NPSG now faces is to complete the NP in a way which reflects the post appeal reality but with the active support of the Sherington villagers.\u00a0 The NP must be accepted as compliant by MKC and an independent Examiner and then passed by a Village referendum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the recent NPSG we agreed two main actions to address this challenge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The existing NP material will be reviewed by our recently appointed Planning Consultant and he will work with the Task Force undertaking the finalisation of the NP.\u00a0 The focus will be on making the plan compliant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A consultation and engagement campaign will be launched to explain to Villagers the current planning situation, key elements of the NP and their necessity.\u00a0 The aim will be to convince a majority of Villages of the need for a plan and acceptance of its key elements.<\/td>\n

Both the shop and the Pavilion now have sub-committees who will report back regularly to the monthly PC meetings.<\/p>\n

Shop:<\/strong> Cllr Johnstone confirmed that he would like to extend permanent planning and advised that permission would only be for retail. Cllr Johnstone is looking for volunteers (not on the Parish Council), to help with the shop and an advert to go onto the PC website.<\/p>\n

Pavilion<\/strong>: Cllr Caldwell advised the building works are done other than the storage heaters which it has now been discovered that the Pavilion does have an Economy 7 meter but the heaters were not linked. A storage heater along with timers is all that now requires replacing and this will be done next week.\u00a0 Bookers to be advised but there should not be any disruption. Regarding the lease, this needs to be amended with the landlord.<\/td>\n
