What happens next

The Neighbourhood Plan, supporting documents and representations received will, in line with legislation, be subject to an independent examination by a suitably qualified and independent person (the Examiner).

The Examiner's role is to assess whether the neighbourhood plan meets basic conditions (set out in law) and other legislative requirements. They will determine whether or not it proceeds (with or without modifications) to a local referendum in the neighbourhood plan area.

More information can be found on the Examination page.
