Recommendations of review

Constitution of new parish
87
1
A community governance review must make recommendations as to what new parish or parishes (if any) should be constituted in the area under review.
2
A new parish is constituted in any one of the following ways—
a
by establishing an unparished area as a parish;
b
by aggregating one or more unparished areas with one or more parished areas;
c
by aggregating parts of parishes;
d
by amalgamating two or more parishes;
e
by separating part of a parish;
but the aggregation of one or more unparished areas with a single parish is not the constitution of a new parish.
3
For the purposes of subsection (2)—
- “parished area” means an area which—
  1. is a parish, or
  2. is part of a parish;
- “unparished area” means an area which—
  1. is not a parish, and
  2. is not part of a parish.

The following subsections apply if the review recommends that a new parish should be constituted.
