Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 16 Submission and Consultation

The final Neighbourhood Plan is submitted by CTC, as the 'Qualifying Body', to Cotswold District Council.

Independent Examination

Summer 2025 - Autumn 2025
After the Reg 16 consultation, Cotswold District Council will appoint an independent Planning Inspector to examine the final plan; the role of the inspector is limited to testing whether or not the Neighbourhood Plan meets a set of basic conditions after which the plan will go to a local referendum.
