Issue - meetings

Background:

This report explained that a draft neighbourhood plan for Hoo St Werburgh and Chattenden had been submitted to Medway Council and outlined the process and issues for the Council. The Council was required to publish the plans at ‘Regulation 16’ to gather comments, in advance of arranging an examination and therefore approval was sought to publish the draft plans for representations.

The Plan would form part of the statutory development plan process and sought to promote the sustainable development of the area, improve community well-being and protect and enhance the environment.

The submission draft of the Hoo St Werburgh and Chattenden Neighbourhood Plan was attached at Appendix 1 to the report. A Diversity Impact Assessment in relation to the Plan was attached at Appendix 2.

Reasons:

To meet the legal requirements for the publication of draft Neighbourhood Plans at Regulation 16.
