Baginton and Bubbenhall Neighbourhood Plan

7.0 Next Steps

7.1 This Submission NDP has been prepared taking into consideration the representations received during the public consultation on the Draft Plan in Winter 2016. A Basic Conditions Statement has been prepared setting out how the NDP meets the required basic conditions, and a Consultation Statement sets out how the representations received have been considered and used to influence and inform the content of the Plan.

7.2 Following consultation on the Submission Plan, the NDP will be subjected to an Independent Examination by a jointly appointed Examiner, to consider whether the Plan has been properly prepared and whether it meets the basic conditions.

7.3 It is likely that the Examiner will recommend further (hopefully minor) changes, before the Plan is subjected to a local Referendum. A straight majority vote (50% of turnout +1) of those on the Electoral Register will be required, before the District Council may "make" the Plan. The Neighbourhood Plan will then be used to help determine planning decisions in the Parish alongside District and National Planning Policies.
