Coton Forward Neighbourhood Development Plan

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.
