Colne Neighbourhood Plan

Colne Neighbourhood Plan Examination

Submission

On 8 August 2022, Colne Town Council formally submitted its Neighbourhood Plan to Pendle Council.

A public consultation, held between Friday 2 September and Monday 17 October 2022, gave residents, businesses and other interested parties the opportunity to comment on the final draft of the Colne Neighbourhood Plan. 

The comments received in response to this public consultation will be considered by an independent examiner.

The Examination

Independent examiner Mr Andrew Ashcroft BA (Hons) MA, DMS, MRTPI has been appointed by Pendle Council to carry out the examination of the plan.

The Examination has started.

The purpose of the examination is to test whether the draft neighbourhood plan, submitted for examination, meets the basic conditions, and other matters set out in paragraph 8 of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended).

The independent examiner is not testing the soundness of a neighbourhood plan or examining other material considerations. 

There is more information on neighbourhood plans and the examination process on the GOV.UK website.
