Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum has submitted its draft Neighbourhood Plan to the Council. The Council must now take responsibility for progressing the Plan through the subsequent stages of the neighbourhood plan process. This report therefore seeks Committee agreement for officers to proceed with the appointment of an examiner and the submission of the Draft Neighbourhood Plan for examination.

RESOLVED: That Committee: 1. Agreed that officers proceed with the appointment of a suitably qualified and experienced independent person to undertake examination of the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Plan; 2. Agreed to submit the Draft Neighbourhood Plan and its supporting documents for examination, together with all representations received in response to the Regulation 16 publication of the Draft Plan; and 3. Endorsed and agreed to submit the officer comments on the Draft Neighbourhood Plan set in Appendix 1 as the Council's Regulation 16 response for consideration at the examination.
