Examiner’s Report on the Pannal and Burn Bridge Neighbourhood Plan - Decision Statement and Referendum

This is a statutory stage in the preparation of a Neighbourhood Plan that takes place following independent Examination of the plan.
The report will set out a recommendation on whether to agree an appended Decision Statement. The Decision statement will set out the Council’s position on the Neighbourhood Plan in-light of the Examiner’s Report and whether the Plan can progress to referendum.
Based on consideration of a Fact-Checking Draft of the Examiner’s Report, both the local planning authority (LPA) and the qualifying body responsible for the preparation of the plan (Pannal and Burn Bridge Parish Council) agree with all of the Examiner’s modifications recommended as necessary for the Plan to meet the basic conditions. This will be confirmed on receipt of the final Examiner’s report.
Subject to a favourable decision, the Plan would be amended in-line with the recommended modifications post-decision and this modified Plan would go forward to referendum.
