BARDSEY/SCARCROFT NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN BOUNDARY CHANGE

Bardsey Parish Council some considerable time ago in 2015 applied to Leeds City Council to amend the Bardsey Neighbourhood Area so it aligns with the revised parish boundary which came into force on 1st April 2014. It should be noted that this change in boundary was not supported by Bardsey cum Rigton Parish Council. The City Council must publicise the application and seek comments from those who live, work or carry out business in the Bardsey Neighbourhood Area in compliance with Regulation 6 of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. The application from Bardsey Parish Council, along with a plan illustrating the proposed change to the boundary, the corresponding application and plan for the change to Scarcroft Neighbourhood Area, the formal notice and the response form are available at info@bardseyvillage.org.uk. This information is also available on the Leeds City Council website at http://www.leeds.gov.uk/council/Pages/Neighbourhood-planning.aspx and paper copies are available to view at Bardsey Village Hall. Comments should be made on the response form, however if you prefer to set them out in an email or letter they will be accepted. Please email any comments to npsupport@leeds.gov.uk or send them to The Chief Planning Officer, City Development, The Leonardo Building, 2 Rossington Street, Leeds, LS2 8HD between 15th July 2016 – 26th August 2016 (by 5.00pm).
