So what’s the hold-up with the next neighbourhood plan consultation?
You may be wondering, if, originally, we were going out to the next round of consultations last October, why nothing has surfaced, yet? Well, those of you who follow us closely know that Teignbridge indicated that, in October, they wished to carry out both an HRA (Habitats Regulations Assessment) and SEA (Strategic Environmental Assessment) screening as well as obtain comments, internally, on the Plan as a whole from a variety of departments – e.g key officers in Housing, Leisure and Environment, as well as the wider Planning Service, etc. This was just as we were hoping to go out for the next consultation, having made adjustments, where appropriate, following the responses received and analysed (with great interest) on our first draft Plan and Design Code, etc. They’ve indicated recently that the length of time taken, since then, is more down to their own pressing deadlines with the Teignbridge Local Plan review causing a shortage of time available for other projects (like ours), rather than any major snags with the draft Neighbourhood Plan document. That’s really encouraging.
The latest report indicates that Teignbridge’s work is 2/3 complete and they should be back to us by…………… the end of February. Hooray!!
Obviously, we will have to work on the comments received from Teignbridge and their screening results before we can start the next consultation round, but this is really good news and helps us to start planning for something more concrete.
Sooooooooooo, watch this space, Council Minutes, Wavelength, etc, for updates on arrangements, venues, dates, times, etc, for the next series of consultation sessions.
