Consideration was given to a report which detailed how Wickersley Parish Council had notified the Council of their intention to produce a neighbourhood plan covering the Parish of Wickersley. It was proposed that the Council approved the application from Wickersley Parish Council as the relevant neighbourhood planning body and the designation of Wickersley Parish as a Neighbourhood Area.
A neighbourhood plan, once it came into force, would form part of Rotherham’s statutory development plan. Policies in the neighbourhood plan would be taken into account when the Council determined planning applications within the Parish.
Resolved:- (1) That the neighbourhood area application from Wickersley Parish Council as the relevant neighbourhood planning body be approved.
(2) That the Parish of Wickersley be designated as a Neighbourhood Area.
