This report considers the Council’s proposed response to the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Plan that was published for consultation between 20 June 2025 and 1 August 2025 under Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Forum following consultation on a draft Neighbourhood Plan (Regulation 14) that was undertaken between 9 September 2024 and 27 October 2024.
The Council is a statutory consultee on neighbourhood plans and it is important that the council provides detailed responses on neighbourhood plans at the formal consultation stages.
Once adopted the neighbourhood plan becomes part of the boroughs statutory development plan and will therefore be used in the determination planning applications in the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Forum Area.
Following consideration, the Committee resolved with 7 votes for and 1 abstention to:
(1) Approve the Councils response to the Stoneleigh and Auriol Neighbourhood Plan (Regulation 16) set out in Appendix 1 that is currently subject to public consultation under Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
