Consultation on Proposed Submission Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 16

Barkway Parish Council and Nuthampstead Parish Meeting submitted their neighbourhood plan to North Hertfordshire District Council on 22 April 2024.

Consultation on the submitted neighbourhood plan took place between 10 May to 25 June 2024.

The plan sets out a vision for the parishes and planning policies which will be used to determine planning applications within the parishes.

All of the comments and representations are available to view on the North Herts Council website through our online consultation portal.

North Herts Council will now work with the Parish Council to appoint an independent examiner. The independent examiner will consider whether the proposed neighbourhood plan meets the basic conditions and other requirements set out by law. More information about the basic conditions is set out in the North Herts Council Planning Practice Guidance.

Notification

Any representation may include a request to be notified regarding North Herts Council’s decision under Regulation 19 (making a plan) to make the submitted neighbourhood plan for Barkway and Nuthampstead.

There are then 9 documents there which ideally need to be uploaded onto our website please!

  1. There is currently a consultation being run by North Herts Council – please can we highlight this on the website?

North Herts Council Community Governance Review – Have your say on our parishes

(Currently this is on the front page of the North Herts Council website – where there is a link to complete the survey – the survey closes on 7th October 2024.)

  1. We need to have a prominent flag on the front page for news on BK3, this could then be listed on another drop down option under Planning.

Basically we’ve been asked to make it really easy for people to find out all the information regarding BK3 because as you’re probably aware the site has now been bought by Redrow (nightmare!!!)

I think what we need is to have the key documents relating to the Outline Application – Case Ref: 18/01502/OP plus a link to the North Herts Council planning page for even more documents. This was granted conditional permission in July 2023.
