Sandy Neighbourhood Plan Consultation and Drop-in Sessions
Date Added: 04/09/2024
Sandy Council is preparing a Neighbourhood Plan covering the whole Parish. Over the past couple of years, the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has undertaken initial consultation and gathered background evidence. It has now completed a draft Neighbourhood Plan.
In accordance with the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations (Regulation 14), the Draft Neighbourhood Plan is out to formal consultation for a period of six-weeks from 26th August 2024 to 7th October 2024.
Following revision to reflect consultation responses, the Neighbourhood Plan will then be submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) in late October 2024. An examination of the plan will then be undertaken by CBC followed by a local referendum. The referendum will be hosted by CBC and is likely to take place in mid-Summer 2025.
In the meantime, it is important that as many people and organisations comment on the draft plan during this consultation period. Your comments are, therefore, invited.
The Steering Group looks forward to hearing from you by the close of the consultation.
It is hoped that as many people as possible will use electronic means to read the plan and submit comments, in the interests of both efficiency and the environment. Please access the Draft Plan, accompanying documents and feedback form with this link: https://linktr.ee/SandyBedsNP
