Neighbourhood plan examinations for Central Bedfordshire
Another four parishes submitted their final draft neighbourhood plans to us and these have all completed their Regulation 16 consultations. Arrangements are currently underway to organise the examinations and details for each of the plans can be found below. The links below will take you to folders containing copies of the Neighbourhood Plans and their associated documents, all representations received during the Regulation 16 consultation and all relevant documents associated with the examination.
If a neighbourhood plan is successful at examination, it will proceed to a referendum to allow residents to vote. If the plan is successful at referendum, we'll 'make' the plan part of the development plan for the area and use it during the consideration of planning applications.
