Local Plan Part 1 Main Modifcations Consultation Thursday 27 July to Thursday 21 September 2023
Following the Examination in Public hearings in March 2023, the Planning Inspectors and the Council have agreed a schedule of Main Modifications proposed to make Local Plan Part 1 sound and/or legally compliant.
The proposed Main Modifications will now be subject to an eight-week consultation from 27th July to 21st September 2023. Responses to this consultation will be forwarded to the Inspectors, who will take them into account before issuing their report on the Plan. If the Inspectors find the Plan sound, the Council will then be able to take steps to adopt it later in 2023/ early in 2024.
The proposed Main Modifications have been subject to updated Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulation Assessment, as set out in the following supporting documents:
The Policies Map illustrates the application of policies in the Plan geographically. It is not defined in legislation as a development plan document, but needs to be updated in line with the proposed Main Modifications. For completeness, the Council is therefore also inviting comments on the Proposed Changed to Submission Policies Map.
For ease of use, a modified version of the Plan is available below to review alongside the schedule of Main Modifications. It is important to note that this is for information only. Any representations you wish to make should refer to the Main Modifications schedule, and if there are discrepancies between the documents, it is the schedule which takes precedence.
The Council also proposes a number of “Additional Modifications” to the Plan. These changes are not necessary for legal compliance and/or soundness but are proposed to enhance the clarity of the Plan and provide factual updates. For completeness, a schedule of these Additional Modifications is available below, but please note that representations on Additional Modifications are not sought as part of this consultation.
The Council has also made revisions to the following Local Plan evidence documents to inform the proposed Main Modifications:
The Inspectors will take into account any comments received In relation to the following documents which have been published alongside the schedule of Main Modifications:
- Sustainability Appraisal of the Main Modifications
- Habitats Regulations Assessment of the Main Modifications
- Updated Five Year Housing Land Supply Statement
- Updated Housing Trajectory
You can make representations on the Main Modifications and/or Policies Map Changes in the following ways:
Please send us your response by 5pm on 21 September 2023, and include the Main Modification reference number (MM1, MM2 etc) to which your representation refers.
As the Main Modifications are proposed to make the Plan sound and/or legally compliant, you should consider the tests of soundness when submitting any representation. Paragraph 35 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2021) states that plans are sound if they are:
- positively prepared
- justified
- effective and
- consistent with national policy.
This consultation is not an opportunity to raise matters relating to other parts of the Plan that have already been considered by the Inspectors during the Examination process.
Please note that your response will not be treated as confidential. Your comment and name will be made public as it will form part of the Local Plan evidence base, and we are required to provide your full details to the Planning Inspectors and Programme Officer.
