Modification proposal for the Witchford Neighbourhood Plan
Witchford parish council has decided it would like the existing Witchford Neighbourhood Plan to be modified, so that it introduces a new chapter relating to climate change. The new chapter will include five new policies.
The rest of the existing plan is proposed to be largely unchanged other than updating some of the introductory text.
Consultation took place on the modifications proposed between 27 November 2024 and 14 January 2025. Eight representations were received and can be found in the Witchord Neighbourhood Plan representations received document on this page.
Now the consultation period has ended, the modification proposal and other supporting material, together with the representations received, will be considered by an independent examiner. Further details on the examiner, once appointed and the examination process will be made available in due course.
Submission and consultation documents
This webpage will be updated as the examination period progresses, potentially leading to a referendum at some point in 2025.
