Comment on the Grovehill Future Neighbourhood Plan
Submission of the Draft Grovehill Neighbourhood Plan for Independant Examination
With the consent of Grovehill Future Forum, DBC appointed Mr Nigel McGurk to undertake the Independent Examination of the Neighbourhood Plan and prepare a report. Mr McGurk examined the plan by way of written representations, supported by an unaccompanied site visit of the plan area.
His report was formally submitted to DBC on 4 October 2017. It concludes that subject to making his recommended modifications, the Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions set out in the legislation and should proceed to referendum. The Examiner also recommends that the referendum area should be the same as the designated Neighbourhood Area.
Referendum
Following a successful examination, DBC have approved the recommendations made by the Independant Examiner in the form of a Decision Statement (Regulation 18).
