Recent Success: Sherborne St John Neighbourhood Plan Review
We’re delighted to share an example of our latest work, the Sherborne St John Neighbourhood Plan Review. The Sherborne St John community embarked on this review process to ensure that their plan remained up to date and relevant to their evolving needs.
The Sherborne St John Neighbourhood Plan has recently been through a successful Independent Examination and will be made by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council on 16th May 2024, it will then form part of the Development Plan and be used when determining planning applications in the Parish.
ET Planning undertook the Regulation 14 (pre-submission) Consultation for the Sherborne St John Neighbourhood Plan and created a website https://ssj-np.co.uk. In relation to this, the Independent Examiner noted that ‘I am satisfied that the pre-submission consultation and publicity has met the requirements of Regulation 14 in The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended). The consultation and publicity went beyond the requirements, and it is clear that the qualifying body went to considerable lengths to ensure that the local community was able to engage in the production of the modified Plan. I congratulate them on their efforts. ‘
