We currently have a situation where a
Parish Council wants to update/review their 'made' Neighbourhood Plan
following a Boundary Commission change to the administrative area of
the Parish. The area of the Parish has been extended since the
Neighbourhood Plan was originally 'made' and now includes a sizable
area outside the original Neighbourhood Plan area boundary.
In their update, the Parish Council is
seeking to amend some policies and include some additional policies so
they are applicable to the 'new' area of the Parish not covered by the
original Neighbourhood Plan.
Consequently, a new Neighbourhood Area
to reflect the administrative boundary change has been applied for and designated.
However, as some policies from the
original Neighbourhood Plan are still fit for purpose and unlikely to
require changing, my question relates to how these policies would be
dealt with in any update.
Would the unchanged policies that have
previously been found acceptable at Examination also have to be
consulted on and examined again, given that they would now also apply
to an area not previously included in the original neighbourhood plan
/ area?
Any thoughts or comments would be
gratefully received!
