Reason For Designation

The Council has determined that the Welland Neighbourhood Plan Area is an appropriate area to designate for the purposes of 61G of the Act and accords with the considerations set out in National Planning Policy Guidance (NPPG) and Welland Neighbourhood Plan Area is therefore a logical boundary for planning purposes and has been approved for designation by the Portfolio Holder for Planning.

The specified area has been submitted by a relevant body, is not more appropriate to designate as a Business Area, has not previously been designated, includes the majority of the Welland ward area, does not overlap with another designated area, and provides a logical and coherent planning boundary for policy making.
