Examination
In February 2020 Chorleywood Parish Council formally submitted the draft Chorleywood Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents to the District Council. Following the formal submission of the Chorleywood Neighbourhood Plan, Three Rivers District Council undertook a statutory six-week consultation between 17 February 2020 – 30 March 2020.
Three Rivers District Council, with the agreement of Chorleywood Parish Council, appointed Ann Skippers BSc (Hons) MRTPI FRSA AoU as the Independent Examiner for the Plan. The Examiner’s role was to determine whether the Plan met the Basic Conditions as set out in Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and whether the Chorleywood Neighbourhood Plan should proceed to referendum. On 23 June 2020 the Examiner sought clarification from the Parish and District Councils on a number of factual matters (the Examiner’s questions and subsequent correspondence can be downloaded below).
The Independent Examiner's Report was issued on 29 July 2020. The Report recommended that the Plan, subject to a number of recommended modifications, should proceed to referendum. The Examiner's Report can be viewed below:
