Development Management Publication (Sep – Nov16)

On the 15 September 2016 the Council approved the pre-submission ‘Publication’ version of the Development Management DPD for consultation.

The Publication version of the DM DPD is the final version of the DPD which the Council wishes to adopt. Previous rounds of consultation on this document (Issues and Options, Preferred Options and Consultation Draft) have been taken into account in producing this Publication version. Following this consultation period the DPD will be submitted to the Secretary of State together with the representations received during this public consultation for Examination in Public sometime in 2017.

Representations are therefore invited on the Publication version of the DM DPD for a six week period starting Thursday 29 September 2016, ending at 5:00pm on Thursday 10 November 2016.

The proposed submission documents are:

• Hyndburn Development Management DPD Publication Version;
• Hyndburn Development Management DPD Policy Maps (select the ‘POLICY’ category via the menu at the top-left of the screen, and then the DM DPD Publication (Sept 2016) link);
• Sustainability Appraisal – Non Technical Summary
• Sustainability Appraisal – Main Report and Appendices
• Habitat Regulations Assessment Screening Report

The DM DPD has been produced using a number of different evidence base documents which are available to view via the link below. A Plan Viability Study that has been prepared in support of some of the specific policies in the DM DPD will be published by mid-October.
