The examination hearings were held from the 14 to the 17 September 2021.
Following consideration of the council's proposed Main Modifications to the SAP Remittal and having considered all representations including those made at the examination hearing sessions the Inspector recommended proposed Main Modifications to the SAP, which are considered necessary for the SAP to be sound and legally compliant.
On behalf of the Inspector, the council invited comments between 17 December 2021 until 28 January 2022 on whether these Main Modifications will rectify any issues of soundness.
The proposed main modifications consultation is now closed.
Consultation - next steps
Representations made during the consultation period will be submitted to the Planning Inspector for consideration. The Inspector will take these representations into account on whether these proposed Main Modifications will rectify any issues of soundness.
