Replacement Sutton Neighbourhood Plan (2024)
During June and July 2023, Sutton Parish Council launched a consultation in its parish seeking views on a replacement Neighbourhood Plan, which would replace the Sutton Neighbourhood Plan approved in 2019. For details of that consultation exercise, please visit Sutton Parish Council's website (external link).
Following that consultation event, the Parish Council finalised its draft replacement Neighbourhood Plan, and submitted it to East Cambridgeshire District Council on 10 December 2023. Final consultation took place between January and February 2024.
After the consultation period ended, the Neighbourhood Plan was considered by an independent Examiner, Andrew Ashcroft MRTPI, from February to May 2024, when he then published his Examiner's Report (PDF). In short, he recommended that the Plan proceed to a referendum.
A referendum took place on 4 July 2024, where the plan was overwhelmingly supported by those who voted. Further details are available on our elections page.
On 25 July 2024, at a meeting of the council's Full Council, the Plan was formally made part of the development plan for East Cambridgeshire, and will be used to make decisions on planning applications in the Sutton parish. The 2019 version of the plan has now been removed.
