The Chief Executive has agreed that all the Examiner’s recommended modifications should be accepted and that the amended Neighbourhood Plan should proceed to a referendum.

The modifications proposed by the examiner have been made to secure that the draft plan meets the basic conditions. Appendix  A of the Decision Statement sets out these modifications and the action to be taken in respect of each of them.

The District Council agrees with the Examiner’s recommendation that there is no reason to extend the Neighbourhood Plan area for the purpose of holding the referendum. 

The Examiner has concluded that with the specified modifications the Plan meets the basic conditions and other relevant legal requirements.  The District Council concurs with this view and that the Plan complies with the provision made by or under sections 38A and 38B of the 2004 Act. Therefore, to meet the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 a referendum which poses the question

‘Do you want Harborough District Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Tugby and Keythorpe to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’

will be held in the Parish of Tugby and Keythorpe.

The date on which the referendum will take place is agreed as 27 October 2022.
