Decision on applications
On 8 October 2020 a delegated decision was made to refuse to designate Chadderton neighbourhood area and to refuse designation of The Chadderton Partnership as a neighbourhood forum in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (the Act) and the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (the Regulations).
The proposed Chadderton Neighbourhood Area does not meet the requirements of Regulation 5(1)(c) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 and Section 61G and Section 61F(5) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as the application was submitted by the Chadderton Partnership, which does not have at least 21 members each of whom lives in the neighbourhood area concerned, works there, or is an elected Member of the Council whose area falls within the neighbourhood area concerned.
Details of 21 members of the Chadderton Partnership were provided to the Council with the application but on checking their details, one member does not live or work in the neighbourhood area and is not an elected Member of the Council for the neighbourhood area.
Therefore, The Chadderton Partnership is not a relevant body for the purposes of section 61G of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as required by Regulation 5(1)(c) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
