Public inquiry

All are welcome to attend the inquiry and listen to discussions. Those who wish to present their written or oral representations or objections must register.

An online form is available. Hard copy registration forms can be supplied by telephoning 685204. 

Since the Draft Plan was published in June 2022, a number of additional, potential development sites for housing and other uses have been identified by the Cabinet Office based on the site submissions made by a mixture of developers, landowners and Local Authorities.

Proposed changes have been collated and put forward by the Cabinet Office planning policy team with documents available since March 22.

Anyone with an interest in the Draft Plan is encouraged to attend the inquiry.
