Consultation process
A statutory period of six-week formal public
consultation ‘Publication’ will be carried out during
2020, following a favourable Full Council decision, on all
documents supporting the Local Plan’s Examination, ahead of
its submission to the Secretary of State.
Respondents will be asked to consider whether they believe the Plan
to be ‘Legally Compliant’ and ‘Sound’; and
to explain their response.
Comments received at this stage of consultation will be collated by
the council officers and will be submitted to the Secretary of
State along with the Local Plan for their consideration by the
independent Planning Inspector as part of the Plan’s
examination.
