The Town Council undertook consultation on drafts of the Plan in September-October 2017 (Regulation 14 consultation- Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012) and in July-August 2016 (pre Regulation 14 consultation).

For details of the consultation please refer to the consultation letter and representation form. The plan has now been submitted to an independent examiner who will take account of all information submitted, including comments made at the Regulation 16 consultation stage. If the examiner finds the plan meets the relevant statutory tests then it can proceed to a referendum which is where the community in the Parish get to vote on whether they want the plan to be adopted by Cannock Chase Council. If the majority votes in favour of the plan then it can be used to help determine planning applications in the area.
