Botley Neighbourhood Plan Submission Consultation Underway
Eastleigh Borough Council is currently consulting on the latest version of the Botley Neighbourhood Plan (termed Regulation 16 submission) on behalf of Botley Parish Council. The consultation is running over an eight week period up to Thursday 26 October.
The purpose of a neighbourhood plan is to guide development within the designated Botley Neighbourhood Area. The Botley Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by Botley Parish Council. Comments on the Plan should address whether it meets the basic conditions along with other legal tests. The basic conditions are that the Plan:
· Must be appropriate having regard to national policy
· Must contribute to the achievement of sustainable development
· Must be in general conformity with the strategic policies in the development plan for the local area (e.g. the adopted Eastleigh Borough Local Plan 2016-2036)
· Must be compatible with human rights requirements
Details of the consultation are provided on the Council’s website
The Plan, its supporting evidence and documentation will be independently examined once the consultation period closes.
