I've assumed that the designation of 'Business Area' (i.e. wholly or predominantly business in nature) applied to Neighbourhood Plans. So that in these areas there would be 2 referendums on the Plan - 1 for residents and 1 for businesses. However, I've just been going through the Localism Act, and I'm now confused about this. Part 1 of Schedule 9 of the Localism Act sets up various sections (61E-Q) for Neighbourhood Development Orders. 61H sets up the designation of 'Business Area'. Part 2 of Schedule 9 then applies some of the NDO sections to Neighbourhood Development Plans. In particular the 'Supplementary Provisions' bit of 38C(2) lists the provisions that are applied to NPlans, but this does not include 61H. Does the absence of 61H mean that Business Areas don't apply to Neighbourhood Plans?
