Local Plan - your questions answered

What happens next?

Once Regulation 19 ends, we will prepare documents for submission to the Government, alongside all the representations received.  

Before submission, the Plan will be considered at an additional Full Council meeting, where councillors will be asked to approve its submission for independent examination.  

The Government will then appoint an independent Planning Inspector to undertake a ‘public examination’ of the Plan and propose any modifications which are required to ensure that the Plan is sound and legally compliant. The Planning Inspector may organise public hearings to assist with this process, ensuring the examination is open and transparent.  

This is the last stage of the process for producing a Local Plan.
