Purpose: Shenstone Parish Council have prepared a review of their existing neighbourhood plan.

As such, the plan was examined but does not require a referendum.   The examiner recommended a number of modifications and concluded that, subject to these changes, the reviewed plan meets the basic conditions and should be made. Following independent examination, it was concluded that the Shenstone neighbourhood plan should be ‘made’ (adopted).   The purpose of this report is to formally ‘make’ (or adopt) the Shenstone Neighbourhood Plan (Appendix A) within the required timeframe.
