Sarratt Neighbourhood Plan

Three Rivers District Council, with the agreement of Sarratt Parish Council, appointed Ann Skippers BSc (Hons) MRTPI FRSA AoU as the Independent Examiner for the Plan. The Examiner’s role is to determine whether the Plan meets the Basic Conditions as set out in Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and whether the Sarratt Neighbourhood Plan should proceed to referendum.

Following submission for examination in 2023, the Inspector paused the examination and asked for some of the supporting documents to be updated and re-consulted on. This work was undertaken and re-consulted on under a further Regulation 16 Consultation. Three Rivers District Council undertook the submission (Regulation 16) consultation between 23 July – 11 September 2024.

In November 2024, the examination had reconvened. However, following further updates to the plan and associated documents as suggested by the examiner, the examination was paused, and the Neighbourhood Plan and associated documents are subject to a further Regulation 16 Consultation before the examination can reconvene. The Regulation 16 Consultation will run from 28 February to 13 April 2025. Find out more.
