Following the consultation, the draft Lazonby Neighbourhood Plan, associated documents and the responses received during the consultation period were sent to an independent Inspector to be examined. If the Examiner approves the Plan, it will then go to a local referendum. Once adopted, the Lazonby Neighbourhood Plan will become part of the statutory Local Development Plan for Eden and will constitute a material consideration in future planning matters in the Lazonby Parish area.

Consultation on the Draft Neighbourhood Plan (Regulation 14)

The Lazonby Neighbourhood Plan 2014–2029 was open for public consultation (under Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012) for 6 weeks from Monday, 17 July 2017.

When submitting the draft Plan and its associated documents to us for the Regulation 16 Consultation process to begin, we discovered that it was not sent to all Statutory Consultees listed under Regulation 15 of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. We consulted those missing Consultees for a further 6-week period between 19 February 2018 and 2 April 2018.

Designation

The first stage in developing a neighbourhood plan is to choose the 'neighbourhood area' which it will cover. Approval of a Neighbourhood Area application from Lazonby Parish Council took place on 18 September 2014, after a six-week consultation period, which ended on Wednesday, 17 September 2014. Lazonby Parish Council now has the right to produce their own Neighbourhood Plan or Neighbourhood Development Orders.
