Central Milton Keynes Business Neighbourhood Plan - Milton Keynes Council
Following the successful residential and business referenda, Full Council at its meeting on 10 June 2015 made the CMK Business Neighbourhood Plan part of the Milton Keynes Council Development Plan.
The CMK Business Neighbourhood Plan's policies are now used alongside the Core Strategy policies when considering development proposals within CMK. The CMK Business Neighbourhood Plan’s policies take precedence over the existing policies for CMK in the Milton Keynes Local Plan (Policies CC1-CC19 incl) where they conflict with each other.

Approval of CMK Business Neighbourhood Area, 25 July 2012
Following a cabinet decision on the 25 July 2012, the area put forward by Central Milton Keynes Town Council in their Neighbourhood Plan Area Application has now been approved as a Business Neighbourhood Plan Area.
•The name of the Neighbourhood Area: Central Milton Keynes Business Neighbourhood Area.
•The name of the relevant body who applied for the designation: Central Milton Keynes Town Council
•A map of the designated area can be viewed at CMK Neighbourhood Area Map (PDF, 2MB)
•The relevant Cabinet Report and decision note can be viewed at: Cabinet, 25 July 2012
In April 2012 CMK Town Council applied to Milton Keynes Council, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, to designate a Central Milton Keynes Neighbourhood Plan Area.
CMK has the status of being a business neighbourhood area frontrunner. There are over 100 areas across the country which are piloting the new neighbourhood planning process, but only a handful of thse are identified as business neighbourhood areas. Within a business neighbourhood area there is a requirement for an additional referendum of the business community to be held alongside the referendum of residents.
In the Neighbourhood Area application, CMK Town Council had asked that consideration be given to designating the area as a neighbourhood area and not as a business neighbourhood area.
The Localism Act, Schedule 9, Part 1, requires that whenever Milton Keynes Council considers an application to designate a Neighbourhood Area that it also considers whether the area should be designated as a business area. A key factor in this decision is whether the area concerned is wholly or predominantly business in nature.
The application and a statement explaining why and how CMK Town Council intends to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan, and how the organisation and area meet the conditions of Section 61G(2) and 61F(5) of the Town And Country Planning Act, 1990 can be viewed at:
