Background
Following the positive outcome of the Referendum held on 2nd May 2019 and Full Council’s decision to make (adopt) the Plan on 19 June 2019, this Plan now forms part of the Development Plan for Torbay. Paignton Neighbourhood Forum applied to designate the forum and area of Paignton in 2012 and applied for renewal in 2017. The applications for designation can be found below along with links to the respective decisions by Council. Within the applications there is a map of the area. Following the designation of a new Neighbourhood Area and Forum comprising the villages of Broadsands, Churston and Galmpton (BCG) a minor amendment to the Paignton Neighbourhood Plan area was approved by full Council on 4 November 2021. The report and to Council and its decision are available at Agenda for Council on Thursday, 4 November 2021,(torbay.gov.uk)
The Plan
The Forum submitted their Neighbourhood Plan in 2017 and it was subject of an independent examination in 2018. Torbay Council, as Local Planning Authority (LPA), approved the Plan with post examination modifications for referendum at a Full Council meeting on 15 November 2018.
The Area
November 2021 Update: Following the designation of a new Neighbourhood Area and Forum comprising the villages of Broadsands, Churston and Galmpton (BCG villages), a minor amendment to the Paignton Neighbourhood Plan was approved by full Council on 4 November 2021. As a result of this decision, the Paignton Neighbourhood Area has been amended, (as shown in the plan below), to include the area of Saltern Road up to the boundary between the Goodrington with Roselands Ward and the Churston and Galmpton Ward. The report and Council and its decision are available at Agenda for Council on Thursday, 4 November 2021,(torbay.gov.uk)
The Forum
Paignton Neighbourhood Forum area and forum were first designated in 2012. The Forum was last designated on 7 December 2017. A designation ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 5 years (beginning with the day on which it is made). Therefore, Paignton Neighbourhood Forum no longer has a formal status from 7 December 2022. This does not affect the validity of the adopted Paignton Neighbourhood Plan.
Neighbourhood Proportion of CIL
The Paignton neighbourhood proportion of Torbay Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy Fund (CIL) is available to support suitable community projects. Application forms to apply for these funds can be downloaded from the documents list below. As there is no active Paignton Neighbourhood Forum, completed forms should be sent directly to Torbay Council Governance Support via Governance.Support@torbay.gov.uk
Further information is available from the Council’s Cabinet Report and subsequent Decision (November 2022) which set out the process and include project bids totalling £44,241.85, which have already been approved.
