Please be aware that all comments that we receive will be publicly available and your name may be displayed
After the consultation closes, the draft Neighbourhood Plan, supporting documents and the comments received will be sent for independent examination. The majority of examinations are expected to be through written representations, however the independent examiner will decide whether there is a need for a public examination
Part of the online survey asks for your views on whether there should be a public examination on the draft Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan. If you are emailing or writing to us, you can state whether you think there should be a public examination, as well as the specific reasons for the request.
When commenting, you should bear in mind that the examiner will mainly assess the plan against the 'basic conditions'. These are set out in the Basic Conditions Statement, which is available on our website. You can also request to be notified of South Oxfordshire District Council's final decision to make (formally adopt) the Chinnor Neighbourhood Plan.
Thank you in advance for participating in the consultation. If you have any queries, please contact Planning Policy on 01235 422600 or email [email protected].
