On 28th June 2016 the content of the Publication Local Plan was agreed at a meeting of Full Council. Before the Council could submit the Local Plan to the Secretary of State it was required, in accordance with Regulation 19 of The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning)(England) Regulations 2012, to publish the Local Plan and to invite representations on it. 

The consultation on the Publication Local Plan and accompanying documents ran for a period of 6 weeks beginning on Monday 4 July until 5pm on Monday 15 August 2016.

All of the comments that were received were submitted to the Secretary of State and considered as part of the Examination of the Local Plan by Mr Brian Sims, an independent Planning Inspector. Further information can be found on the Local Plan Examination webpage.
