Current position

September 2018

In August 2018, Stoke Goldington Parish Council applied to Milton Keynes Council, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, to designate a Neighbourhood Plan area for the Parish of Stoke Goldington.

Under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) and Development Management Procedure (Amendment) Regulations 2016, there is no longer a requirement to publicise area designation applications if the area specified in the application encompasses the entire Parish area. In such cases, the Regulations state that designations must be made as soon as possible, once the Authority is satisfied that the application is valid and complete. This was the case with the Stoke Goldington Parish Council application.

Following a neighbourhood planning officer decision on 1st October 2018, the area put forward by Stoke Goldington Parish Council in its Neighbourhood Plan Area application has now been approved as a Neighbourhood Plan Area.

To comply with Regulation 7 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Milton Keynes Council is publicising the following details:

• the name of the Neighbourhood Area: Stoke Goldington Neighbourhood Area
• the name of the relevant body who applied for designation: Stoke Goldington Parish Council
• a map of the designated area can be viewed here
• the relevant Neighbourhood Planning Officer Decision Report and Decision can be viewed here
