The Pre-Submission Consultation (Regulation 14) on the Lambourn NDP has now CLOSED.
The Steering Group would like to thank all those who participated, either in writing or at the various consultation events around the Parish.
The Pre-Submission version of the Plan will remain available on the website for reference, along with the associated Appendices.
The Steering Group is in the process of going through all the responses and making amendments to produce the Submission Version, which will be passed to West Berkshire Council. WBC will then hold their Regulation 16 Consultation (this lasts for 6 weeks) before passing the Plan on to an Independent Examiner. Once the Examiner is satisfied, and any amendments made, electors in the Parish will be able to vote on the final Referendum Version of the Lambourn NDP. If a majority of voters approve, the Plan will then be “made”.
Once the Plan is made, it will be subject to regular review by the Parish Council, to ensure it continues to reflect the wishes of the community and remains “in general conformity” with the Local Plan. Major changes will require the Plan to be re-made, going through consultation, examination and referendum, but minor updates can be done through the Local Planning Authority. Regular reviews by the Parish Council as to how the Plan is performing should enable both minor and major changes to be done without the long process involved in this first Neighbourhood Development Plan.
