Submission: 20 September 2021
Woodmancote Neighbourhood Development Plan was submitted, in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, to Tewkesbury Borough Council.
Neighbourhood area designation: 27 June 2019
Woodmancote Parish Council applied to designate a neighbourhood area for the preparation of a neighbourhood development plan, which was received on 14 June 2019. On the basis that the application was made on behalf of the Parish Council, as the relevant body, and was for the whole parish, it satisfied the provisions of Regulation 5A of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, as amended, and therefore a six week consultation period was not required. The meeting of the Executive Committee on 6 February 2019 resolved to delegate neighbourhood area designations to the Head of Planning Services for any future applications. Below is Tewkesbury Borough Council’s Neighbourhood Area Planning Notice that approves the neighbourhood area for Woodmancote; and a map of the designated neighbourhood area.
