Clifton Hampden Neighbourhood Development Order
Clifton Hampden Parish Council is working on a neighbourhood development order to grant planning permission for a new GP surgery, 17 new houses (including four for affordable housing), an extension to the village hall, additional parking and a new burial ground, located on two sites near the centre of the village of Clifton Hampden.
What’s happening now?
Clifton Hampden Parish Council issued an update on 26 September 2024. The parish council’s update highlighted the uncertainty which currently exists about its views on the proposed Neighbourhood Development Order (NDO), and the way in which it is working with the other relevant parties. In all the circumstances, the Examiner concluded there wasn’t sufficient clarity to allow a meaningful debate on the NDO to take place. On this basis, the Examiner issued a note suspending the independent examination.
The examiner has since received submissions from both the Parish Council and the NDO Steering Group. Having carefully considered these representations, The examiner finds there remains insufficient clarity for him to proceed meaningfully with his examination of the NDO against the basic conditions, which is detailed in his second note.
The next steps
The examiner has invited the Parish Council to consider withdrawing the Order and requests a response by 27 November. If the Parish Council decides against withdrawal, he will proceed to draft a report on the NDO without a hearing. In response to the examiner’s Second Update note, the Parish Council has advised that the matter will be addressed at its meeting on 9 December 2024. The examiner has agreed to this revised timetable.
