Submission to Durham County Council
The Draft Neighbourhood Plan has now been formally submitted to Durham County Council and is subject to a further 6 week consultation before being examined by an independent planning inspector. The Draft Plan and all of the background papers and evidence are available, follow the link below.
Neighbourhood plan submission stage
The inspector will be appointed by Durham County Council to ensure its compliance with the law, with national planning guidance and with the strategic policies of Durham County Council’s local plan.
The planning inspector can require amendments to be made or recommend that the Plan go forward for public referendum.
