The Council will send the representations to the Inspector on Friday 9 November 2018.

The draft suggested modifications took account of representations raised at the Publication stage, the continuing development of local plan evidence, changes to national planning policy, particularly the new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance, and, progress on development sites.

The Inspector must consider the soundness of plan as submitted, the draft suggested modifications are intended to help the Inspector consider how the soundness, clarity and consistency of the submitted documents could be improved. He will consider the respresentations alongside the draft suggested modifications and may choose to consider these when exploring the matters and issues that interest him at the local hearing sessions.

Please note: The representations will be redacted and published on the examination web page as soon as possible.

Comments will be reviewed by Knight, Kavanagh & Page and used to  inform an assessment of green space provision across the Lancaster District. The Open Space Study will examine the quality, distribution and role of green spaces and will replace 'PPG17 Study Open Space, Sport and Recreation Facilities'. This will provide a key evidence base to inform future strategic planning and decision-making processes for green space.

The Strategic Policies and Land Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) will direct where homes, employment land, services and future investment will go in the district over the next 15 years.  The Development Management Development Plan Document (DPD) sets out a series of generic planning policies which will be used by us to determine planning applications  View previous consultation stages
