A plan for the Hampton-in-Arden Neighbourhood area
On 1 February 2023, in accordance with Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Hampton-in-Arden Parish Council commenced consultation on their Pre-Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan.
The deadline for responding to the consultation is the 22 March 2023.
The Consultation Documents can be viewed on the Parish Council website at » Neighbourhood Plan. (hamptoninarden.org.uk)
Following an application from Hampton-in-Arden Parish Council, a new Neighbourhood Area has been designated. This amends the current Neighbourhood Area to reflect the administrative boundary change that came into effect on 1 April 2019 and will allow the Parish Council to update their Neighbourhood Plan.
The designation can be viewed here.
For the avoidance of doubt, until a new Neighbourhood Plan is ‘made’, the existing Plan policies will continue to apply to the area that was covered by the previous Neighbourhood Area.
The Hampton-in-Arden Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) Referendum was held on Thursday 6 July 2017. The referendum result showed clear support for the NDP. The ‘Declaration of Result of Poll’ can be viewed here.
The Council has now ‘made’ the Neighbourhood Plan and it is now formally part of the statutory development plan for Solihull that was adopted in December 2013. The Neighbourhood Plan will be used by the Council to assist in making decisions relating to planning applications in the Neighbourhood Plan area. The Hampton-in-Arden Neighbourhood Plan can be viewed here.
Independent Examination of the Hampton-in-Arden Neighbourhood Plan Submission Draft was conducted by Mr Andrew Matheson and took place in January 2017. The Examiner’s report concluded that subject to recommended modifications it is appropriate for the NDP to proceed to referendum.
The Council has considered the Examiner’s report and is in agreement with all of its recommendations as outlined in the Council’s 19 April 2017 report.
Hampton-in-Arden Parish Council submitted their Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan to the Council in February 2016. Consultation took place in August and September 2016. The Submission Draft and other supporting information can be viewed below:
