Consultation on the Local Plan Regulation 19 Publication Version closed on Tuesday 10 November. The Council is now processing and reviewing all representations received during the consultation.
Local Plan Regulation 19 Publication Version
The Council published its Local Plan for consultation under Regulation 19 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012. This is the last stage in which comments can be made on the Local Plan before it is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for examination.
At Regulation 19 stage, representations should focus on whether the Local Plan is legally compliant and sound. The Inspector will test soundness against four criteria:
- Positively Prepared - Does it meet area's objectively assessed needs for housing and other development?
- Justified - Is it based on proportionate evidence and is it the most appropriate strategy?
- Effective - Is it deliverable? Does it have credible infrastructure and delivery plan?
Consistent with National Policy - Does it comply with the National Planning Policy Framework?
