Decision details

Members received a report which informed the Executive that significant objections raised to two specific policies within the Pre-submission Ide Neighbourhood Plan, namely IDE06: Local Green Spaces and IDE07: Ide Gateway Enhancement Area fell outside of delegated authority.

The Neighbourhood Planning Officer submitted that the Parish Council had implemented designations which were in direct conflict with the adopted Teignbridge Local Plan.

The Leader stated that as a Council Teignbridge was clear it wanted as many neighbourhood plans in place as possible; there was a designated Portfolio Holder and officer for this work and it was important that formal objections were not a road block to implementation for other parishes developing plans.  This was a rare set of circumstances which required the Council to act where neighbourhood designations were being made contrary to the Teignbridge Local Plan.

Resolved

That the formal comments of objection from Teignbridge District Council in response to the Ide Neighbourhood Plan Pre-submission (Regulation 14) public consultation be approved.
