Plan to proceed to referendum

The Harbury and Deppers Bridge Neighbourhood Plan was independently examined between May and June 2018. Following the Examiner's report of 30 July 2018, The Cabinet voted on 8th October 2018 that the Plan, as amended by the modifications set out in the decision statement below, should proceed to Referendum.

Examiner's questions of clarification

The examiner asked for the Parish Council and Stratford-on-Avon District Council to respond to a number of questions in order to provide clarity and additional information to assist the examination.

Responses to these queries were supplied in June 2018. Associated documents are listed below.

Invitation for Parish Council comments on the representations

Recent planning guidance from the Neighbourhood Planning Independent Examiner Referral Service advises that the qualifying body (in this case Harbury Parish Council) be given an opportunity to comment on representations made during the consultation (see "Index of Representations" document above). As examination on the Harbury and Deppers Bridge Neighbourhood Development Plan commenced soon after the publication of this guidance, the examiner gave the Parish Council until the end of Friday 27 April to submit any comments on the responses.

Formal Submission consultation

In accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), we held a consultation on the policies proposed in the Submission version of the Plan. Consultation on the Submission Draft of the Harbury Neighbourhood Plan ran from 11 January to 5.00 pm on 22 February 2018.
