Hi all and I hope everyone is well.
Not my area this and asking in case anyone has come across it. Can
you de-allocate/undesignate a 'Designated Neighbourhood Area' and if
so where is the mechanism set out?
I know you can extend boundaries, add in areas, merge them. But can
you remove them?
The issue is that we have an area which was designated as a
Neighbourhood Forum were going to do a Plan, but they then decided not
to and folded. So there is no Forum. No one to ask to remove the designation.
We are required by NPPF para 65 to set housing requirements for
designated neighbourhood areas but there seems no point in this case.
The group was set up to resist development rather than
support/promote it and they have now disbanded.
Many thanks
Jon
