Submission draft plan

Site Allocations Plan

The initial Submission Draft Plan was submitted to the Secretary of State by the council on 5th May 2017. The Submission Draft Plan includes pre-submission changes made in response to the representations received on the publication of the Plan. The Plan also includes further minor changes, none of which alter the meaning of the Plan.

The Secretary of State appointed Independent Inspectors to examine the Plan for soundness under section 20 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004.

As the Examination progresses the Inspector may identify Main Modifications as necessary to make the Plan sound – any modifications will be subject to consultation.
