In addition, to recognise the significant amount of work undertaken by Holwell Parish Council and members of the Neighbourhood Plan Group in preparing the plan review and to congratulate the Council and Group on their success.    

In presenting his report the Portfolio Holder for Planning advised that the neighbourhood plan review had been subject to independent examination and the examiner had recommended that the Council make (adopt) the plan with the modification specified in his report at appendix B.   The examiner had concluded that there was no statutory requirement for a referendum in this instance given the limited nature of the changes proposed to the plan

There were no questions from non-executive members.  Cabinet members indicated that they were “minded to” support the recommendations in the report.
