Broadwas and Cotheridge Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) review statement

Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP)

The Council’s NDP was formed in September 2019, and has been subject to regular monitoring by the Parish Council. In 2023 the Parish Council noted the need for a more formal review to coincide with the end of the 5th year, and has undertaken initial research and consultation in order to undertake a proportionate review.

For a number of reasons the completion of the South Worcestershire Development Plan Review (SWDPR) has been delayed. This has impacted on completion the Parish Council review of its NDP, as it is important that any amendments can be fully compliant with the SWDP.

We now understand that it could be another year until the District Council and partner councils, will have completed its review.

On the basis of ongoing monitoring and an initial review of the NDP the Parish Council has formally resolved at its meeting held on the 19th June, 2023 , to undertake a fuller review process (see below), and noted that:

  • The NDP remains fit for purpose and meets the needs of the residents of the Parish, as these are presently understood .
  • It is fully compliant with both the current SWDP and is likely to be compliant with the SWDPR, when finalised.

The Parish Council has therefore resolved to complete a review of its NDP to ensure that the best interests of parishioners are served.

The Parish Council therefore is committed to undertaking its review in a timely and proportionate way. In order to reduce and mitigate any impact resulting from the delay in the completion of the SWDPR.
