Referendum Version of the Sutton Neighbourhood Plan

The Neighbourhood Planning (Referendums) Regulations 2012

The independent examiner, Mr David Kaiserman, has completed the examination process and concluded that, subject to a number of recommendations (principally for changes to the detailed wording of some policies), the Sutton Neighbourhood Plan would meet the basic conditions, and consequently that, as modified, it should proceed to referendum.  The Sutton Neighbourhood Plan has been updated in line with the modifications recommended by the independent examiner. The latest version (v4.0 referendum version) will now be the subject of a referendum of the registered electors within Sutton parish.
