Rugby Borough Council at a meeting of its full Council on the 8th December 2015 decided to make the Coton Forward Neighbourhood Development Plan under Section 38A(4) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended).
The Coton Forward Neighbourhood Development Plan now forms part of the Development Plan for Rugby Borough and will be taken into account in local planning decisions.
The Coton Forward Neighbourhood Development Plan was independently examined in early 2015. The examiner recommended the plan should not proceed to a referendum.
However, in August 2015 the council agreed modifications to the plan which ensured it met statutory requirements, allowing the plan to proceed to a referendum.
