Decision details

To seek approval of the designation of the Ecclesfield Parish Council area as a Neighbourhood Area in accordance with Section 61G of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for the purpose of producing a Neighbourhood Plan.

Resolved: that the Council:-

a)  Designate the Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Area as set out in the application (see Background Paper 1.) in accordance with section 61G of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

 b)  Publicise the Ecclesfield Neighbourhood Area designation in accordance with Regulation 7 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

A local planning authority must designate a neighbourhood area if the authority is satisfied that it meets certain conditions set out in paragraphs 61G, 61F, and 61H of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).  

Ecclesfield Parish Council is the only body that can apply for designation of an Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Area (Town & Country Planning Act 1990 section 61F (1) as amended), and so there is no alternative body to consider.
