High Legh Neighbourhood Plan
Steering Group
Register of Interests
It is normal in many organisations to have a Register of Interests process so that when there is a conflict between an item being discussed and the personal or pecuniary interest of an individual, they either withdraw from discussion of that item or at least do not vote on it. All members of the Parish Council make a Declaration of Interests and this is published on the Cheshire East website.

To have such an arrangement for the Neighbourhood Plan process would, however, be unworkable as Neighbourhood Plans are, by definition, developed by the community for the community, and it is therefore not only possible, but essential that those having interests are involved and we have actively sought to do that every step of the way in line with best practice.

In the interests of transparency, though, we have decided to have this voluntary Register of Interests.

The ultimate safeguard against any interests dominating the Neighbourhood Plan process, however, is that whatever is produced needs to be evidenced, consulted upon and finally voted on by High Legh residents (with more than 50% of those voting having to support it) before the Neighbourhood Plan has any official status. The Steering Group is committed to ensuring that a robust process is being followed so that the community can have confidence in the eventual outcomes.
