Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan Examination July 2023

An Independent Examiner has been appointed to examine the Myland and Briaswick Neighbourhood Plan review. The Examiner is Andrew Seaman BA (Hons) MA MRTPI. The examiner will determine whether the Plan satisfies the Basic Conditions and consider whether the amendments to the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan are:

• minor (non-material) modifications to a neighbourhood plan or are those which would not materially affect the policies in the plan or permission granted by the order. These may include correcting errors, such as a reference to a supporting document, and would not require examination or a referendum.
• material modifications which do not change the nature of the plan or order would require examination but not a referendum. This might, for example, entail the addition of a design code that builds on a pre-existing design policy, or the addition of a site or sites which, subject to the decision of the independent examiner, are not so significant or substantial as to change the nature of the plan.
• material modifications which do change the nature of the plan or order would require examination and a referendum. This might, for example, involve allocating significant new sites for development.

The responses received to the Regulation 16 Consultation have been sent to the Examiner to consider the Myland and Braiswick Neighbourhood Plan review. View the schedule of responses.
