The Portfolio Holder for Planning presented a report seeking Cabinet to adopt the Milborne St Andrew Neighbourhood Plan.  The plan had been subject to independent examination and a referendum.  The referendum results were that 90.6% voted in favour of the plan with 9.4% voting against it.  Where the result were more than half those voting in favour of the plan, the council must make the plan as soon as it was practical.

The Leader of the Council commented that a great deal of work and effort was carried out to produce these plan and the public should be commended for their commitment and efforts.  The plan would form part of the development plan for the parish of Milborne St Andrew alongside other plans, which would be considered by Dorset Council as part of the development planning process for the area.
