Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan further main modifications consultation

Overview

Following the Main Modifications consultation in late 2019, the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP) has reached the next stage in the process.

We made modifications in response to the previous consultation, some of which were determined ‘Further Main Modifications’ by the Inspector.

These therefore require a further consultation.

About the Further Main Modifications

The Further Main Modifications largely deal with minor errors in the plan, and updates to information such as expected timelines for house-building.

Some more significant changes relate to housing for older people, the transport schemes policy, and changes to retail and employment policies.

There is also a Sustainability Appraisal Addendum and an updated Habitats Regulations Assessment.

Please note, the Inspector is not inviting further comments on previous issues, only those relating to the Further Main Modifications.

What happens next

Following the consultation, all comments will be passed to the independent Planning Inspector. They will consider these and decide whether the Plan can be 'found sound' straight away, or whether further hearings are necessary.

At the end of the examination process the Inspector will present there final conclusions in a report. This will be published before the council can then take a formal decision on adopting the Plan.
