Decision:
The Cabinet Member noted that this Neighbourhood Plan period aligned with the current Local Plan in effect, both coming to an end in 2031, and suggested that this may make it easier for Siddington to revise their Neighbourhood Plan when the new Local Plan is published, to continue this alignment through to 2043. The Officer confirmed that this was intentional as the two Plans are directly compared during assessment, and as the contents of the new Local Plan were not publicly available assessments would be made against the current Local Plan – the Officer added that during the proposed Neighbourhood Plan period there was an expectation of a review after five years, at which time Siddington Parish Council would be able to amend and update the contents as necessary to align to the newly introduced Local Plan.
The Cabinet Member queried where specifically “hard copies” would be made available for public access, to which the Officer confirmed that one batch of documents would be stored at the offices of Cotswold District Council on Trinity Road, Cirencester, while the local copies would be at Siddington village hall. The Officer noted that as the village hall is not publicly accessible at all times, so appointments for viewing may be required, and further discussions would be had with Siddington Parish Council to ensure that appropriate access is maintained.
