What happens next? *
The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 part 5 set out the process of moving from Regulation 14 to Regulation 20: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2012/637/part/5
After the consultation period (Regulation 14) ends, we will have received feedback from residents and also relevant groups and statutory bodies. All comments and feedback will be reviewed and considered for inclusion in the plan where appropriate.
The amended draft plan will then be submitted to our local planning authority at Waverley, where it will be be subject to further publicity and comment. It will also be submitted to an independent examiner for review.
The independent examiner will then produce a report with recommendations, and Waverley will produce a decision based on that report. If the plan is approved (including any modifications required by the decision) it will go back to the residents of the parish. There will be a referendum on whether to adopt or reject the plan. This will be advertised to all residents for a minimum of 6 weeks before the vote is held.
If the plan is adopted at referendum it becomes a "made" plan. It will carry weight in planning decisions within the parish, allowing us to shape how and where development takes place.
The proposed plan runs to 2032 - during that time it will be subject to review at least every 5 years by the Parish Council to ensure that the policies and recommendations it contains are accurate and up to date.
* NB - in error, a previous version of this page omitted some of the stages between Regulation 14 and Regulation 20, as well as indicating some incorrect numbers for these stages. These have been removed to avoid confusion, however the above is intended as an overview of the process.
