Wallingford Neighbourhood Plan – Wednesday 26th February – Submitted

On Wednesday 26th February, the Wallingford Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to SODC for its final consultation and examination by a Planning Inspector. This follows updates made to the Plan based on the last round of consultation conducted by the Town Council and Steering Group. Subject to an assessment by the Inspector that the Plan complies with national legislation and policies, and possibly with updates requested by the Inspector, the Plan can then proceed to Referendum – possibly by early summer 2020.

The District Council will organise the next stages of consultation – please watch out for announcements from them. In the meantime, the following documents are available to download (please note that the Town Council and Steering Committee cannot enter in to detailed discussion of the Plan at this point).
