Regulation 19 - Proposed Draft Local Plan Submission
3.9
Representation ID: 13505
Received: 22/04/2025
Respondent: Melton Borough Council
We can confirm that our officers attended to the Local Plan Duty to Cooperate Workshop on the 30th of April and the 10th of October 2024. Different topics were covered in these meetings, including potential cross-boundary matters. Opportunities for participant’s feedback were provided at, and after, these meetings. With this in mind, we are satisfied that the Duty to Cooperate requirements between Harborough District Council and Melton Borough Council have been fulfilled at this stage. Section 3.9 (or Policy IM01) could be expanded to include Harborough’s commitment to continuous collaboration with other districts on cross-boundary matters. We have not identified any
potential cross-boundary issue; however, we will welcome discussions with Harborough District Council if this situation changes as consequence of this consultation or as part of the examination. We do not wish to participate in the examination unless there is any substantial change
regarding the Duty to Cooperate between both districts.
Section 3.9 could be expanded to include Harborough’s commitment to continuous collaboration with other districts on cross-boundary matters, although this might fit better under the context of Policy IM01.

Policy IM01: Monitoring and review of the Local Plan
Representation ID: 13506
Received: 22/04/2025
Respondent: Melton Borough Council
We support the approach of Policy IM01, including the inclusion of part ‘b)’ as an alternative option if there are delays to action part ‘a)’. The policy would benefit from a close list for ‘d)’ (or reference to NPPF triggers). Also, there’s a minor typo as the policy refers to the ‘Annual Monitoring Report’ rather than ‘Authority Monitoring Reports’ (as correctly referred to in paragraphs 7.4, 9.2 and Glossary).

Representation ID: 13507
Received: 22/04/2025
Respondent: Melton Borough Council
We support the conservative trajectory as set out in Appendix 5, understanding that it is based on 2023 data and that unmet needs have not been extrapolated in the last 5 years of the Local Plan period.

Policy DS02 Development Strategy: Creating Jobs and Diversifying the Economy
Representation ID: 13508
Received: 22/04/2025
Respondent: Melton Borough Council
We also support the collective approach of Policies DS02 and SA01 in meeting the Borough’s employment land requirement of 60ha as evidenced in the ‘Harborough Local Housing & Employment Land Evidence 2025’ and the interim apportionment of strategic B8 need of 100-140ha as evidenced in the ‘Strategic B8 Needs Sensitivity Report 2024’. Melton Borough Council has no cross-boundary concerns to these approaches or allocations.
