7. Other Relevant Considerations
Human Rights Act 1998
• Human rights have been considered but there are no overarching matters
for concern in relation to this report.
Legal Implications
• Any Neighbourhood Plans that pass the referendum stage must be
adopted by Blaby District Council and will then become part of the
statutory Development Plan which in turn becomes a material
consideration in the determination of planning applications
Human Resources Implications
• Human resource implications have been outlined in the body of the report
and comprise mainly of officer time and commitment.
Risk Assessment & Business Continuity
• Neighbourhood Planning, whilst important does not present any major
risks to the corporate business of the Council. There is some potential
impact in terms of the officer commitment that may be required but
involvement will always be considered against a back ground of business
requirements and resilience.
• Risk and business continuity/resilience issues have been considered in the
report.
Equalities
• The proposals contained within this report are not judged to have any
significant impacts in terms of the various equalities groups and this has
been demonstrated through carrying out an Impact and Needs
assessment.
• An EINA has been carried out and no adverse impacts identified
