Councillor Brian Milnes expressed his admiration for everyone involved in the production of the Gamlingay Neighbourhood Plan, which had taken seven years to develop. A referendum had been held on 10 November and 76.77% of those who had voted had supported it. If agreed, the Neighbourhood Plan would form part of the Local Development Plan.

Councillor Henry Batchelor supported the adoption of the Neighbourhood Plan. He explained that two of the parishes in his ward had produced Neighbourhood Plans and so he knew the work involved. He also acknowledged the benefit of Neighbourhood Plans to the Planning Committee when considering planning applications.

Councillor Heather Williams congratulated those involved in the production of Gamlingay’s Neighbourhood Plan and welcomed the positive impact the Plan would have on Gamlingay and the surrounding area.
