Publication of the Plan

The Independent Examination has concluded.

Although the Plan has been approved for referendum by the examiner and the Council, changes have been introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which prevents a referendum taking place until May 2021. In accordance with Government guidance, the Neighbourhood Plan can be given significant weight in decision-making, providing the Plan is material to the application.

Independent Examination

Ann Skippers MRTPI has been appointed to undertake the independent examination of the Thundridge Neighbourhood Plan. All correspondence between the examiner and East Herts Council will be published below.
