The Cabinet considered the report of the Director of Built Environment which provided details of proposals to designate the Maghull and Melling Neighbourhood Development Plan areas, in accordance with Section 61G(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and Part 2 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.

Decision Made:

That approval be given to the designation of the revised Maghull and Melling Neighbourhood Development Plan areas, as set out in the report.

Reasons for Decision:

The Council, as Local Planning Authority (LPA), is required to determine applications submitted for the designation of a Neighbourhood Development Plan area.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

The LPA must decide whether to approve any application or refuse it. If it does decide to refuse the application because it considers the area is not an appropriate area to be designated, it must give reasons to the applicant why it has refused the application.
