The Public Hearing part of the Examination is scheduled to start on
Tuesday 12th October 2010, with a pre-hearing meeting on Wednesday 1st
September 2010.
What happens next?
A Planning Inspector is
assessing the ‘soundness’ of the Site Specific Allocations
Development Plan Document. If the document is found sound it may
still be subject to minor changes, details of which will be set
down in the Inspectors Report. A revised version of the Site
Specific Allocations DPD will then be adopted, incorporating the
Inspector’s changes. If the Site Specific Allocations DPD is
found unsound, then the Council may be required to undertake all
or part of the preparation of the document again.
What Have We Done So Far?
Over 1,500 people gave their views during
earlier consultations.
What is the Site Specific Allocations
Document?
The Site Specific Allocations Development Plan Document contains
land suitable for future development, such as housing or community
centres. The document covers the whole of the administrative area
of Waveney District except that part lying within the Broads
Executive Area and the 1st East Urban Regeneration Company area of
Lowestoft. The Broads Authority is producing a separate Local
Development Framework for their administrative area and a separate
Area Action Plan is being prepared for Lake Lothing and the Outer
Harbour area of Lowestoft.
