Uttlesford Local Plan 2021-2041 Regulation 19 Consultation
Overview
We are now consulting on the Council’s submission version of the Draft Local Plan (referred to as the 'Publication' or 'Regulation 19' version).
The consultation period will be extended to Monday 14 October.
This is due to additional transport data being incorporated into the existing Transport Study Document within the evidence base of the local plan.
The information was previously summarised in the main reports.
Background to the Local Plan
The Council began work on a new Local Plan in 2020 when we published the 'Issues and Options' consultation which sought the public's views, including the Community Stakeholder Forum, on the key ideas and themes.
These comments were used to develop the Spatial Vision and Strategic Objectives. In November 2023 a 'Regulation 18' Draft Local Plan was published for consultation and set out the Council's emerging Preferred Spatial Strategy.
We received around 5000 comments to the Regulation 18 Plan which has helped inform this ‘Publication’ Local Plan, a report summarising these comments and our responses are available as part of the evidence base.
Local Plan 2021-2041 Regulation 19 Consultation
This Regulation 19 Local Plan consultation will be the final opportunity for the public to comment before the submission of the Plan for examination. Comments received during this consultation, as well as the supporting documents and evidence will be submitted to the Secretary of State for Examination in Public.
How you can make your representations
Please use the Online Survey Form below to submit your representations. The form will take an estimated 15-30 minutes to respond to and there will be an opportunity to save and come back to your response before submitting. There will also be the opportunity to upload a file with relevant supporting information or evidence.
Within the Online Survey Form you will be asked to provide your contact details on the 'About You' page before you can formally comment on the Local Plan. You will then be able to view and comment on each of the Chapters and the Policies of the Local Plan. You can choose to comment on all of the Chapters or Policies or go straight to the ones that interest you the most.
There is also an opportunity to indicate whether you would like to participate in the examination hearing sessions if you are seeking modification to the plan.
At this final stage of consultation, your comments should be relating to issues of legal and procedural compliance, the ‘soundness’ of the Plan and Duty to Co-operate. These legal 'tests' are summarised in the consultation Short Guide.
Submitting supporting documents or evidence.
You will have the opportunity to support your representation with any relevant information or evidence by uploading a file at the end of the survey.
A form for submitting comments by email or post is available on the website here: Regulation 19 Representation Form.
