Regulation 15 is now COMPLETE
The Steering Group have completed the Regulation15 stage of the Neighbourhood Plan process. This involved reviewing and responding to comments received from the Regulation 14 consultation held earlier in the year, and amending the Draft Plan and Evidence Base reports to reflect comments that were relevant.
The reviewed Reg. 14 Consultation version (now the Submission Plan) was approved by the Steering Group on Wednesday 21st October and by Melksham Town Council and Melksham Without Parish Council at their respective Full Council meetings on Monday 26th October.
The Melksham Neighbourhood Plan - Submission Version October 2020 and the reviewed Evidence Base Reports are on this homepage and ready for the next stage of the plan.
The Submission Version has now been submitted to Wiltshire Council who will hold a Regulation 16 consultation. This will be advertised on this website, the parish and town councils’ websites and social media and by Wiltshire Council.
Regular updates will be shared in the Melksham Independent News. Reg. 16 will run for another 6-week minimum period of consultation. The Plan will be examined by an appointed Planning Inspector and a report issued setting out whether the Plan meets the basic conditions. If any modifications are needed, they will be made before proceeding to a Referendum.
Due to current Government Covid-19 regulations, no Referendum will be held before 6th May 2021.
