Application to establish Marple Neighbourhood Forum

 

 

An application has been submitted by the Prospective Neighbourhood Forum, which seeks to establish a Neighbourhood Forum relating to the designated Marple Neighbourhood Area under the provisions of the Localism Act 2011.

To take advantage of Neighbourhood Planning powers in non-parished areas it is necessary to formally establish a Neighbourhood Forum (no more than one per Neighbourhood Area) which is empowered to undertake Neighbourhood Planning activities. It is the responsibility of the Council to determine applications which seek to establish Neighbourhood Areas or Forums. The Council must determine whether the application meets the necessary regulatory requirements and approve a neighbourhood forum.
