The final stage of the process is for the District Council to formally “make” (adopt) the Plan. The Plan will be formally made at our Full Council Meeting of West Lindsey on Monday 28 June 2021.

It is custom and practice of WLDC to invite representatives from the Neighbourhood Plan Group to be present at the meeting, make a short address to Members and handover their Plans.  West Lindsey has adopted this practice to celebrate the work undertaken by Neighbourhood Planning Groups and congratulate those involved..

Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Covid Restrictions, yet legal requirement to meet for a formal meetings, West Lindsey District Council’s Full Council can not be accommodated in our Chambers and such meetings are been held at the Epic Centre and Webcast Live from the venue, the in person public gallery for all our meetings is currently suspended.

It is with regret that WLDC write to advise on this occasion they will not therefore be asking representatives from the Planning Group to attend the meeting to hand over plans.  The Plans will still be adopted and the public can watch on-line via our website

The WLDC Chairman made a commitment that once they are able to do so they will look to invite to a future a meeting, in order that you can address the Council and formally handover the plans.
