Loders' Neighbourhood Plan has passed its Examination. Congratulations to all involved! The next step will be a local referendum. As long as enough local residents vote 'yes', the Neighbourhood Plan should then become the second 'made' plan in Dorset.
Claire Wright undertook the examination over the Christmas period, and commended the extent to which the group had reached out to its community and was an inherently community-driven document, and the fact that the plan was clear, concise (at just under 30 pages) and easy to understand. She has suggested some very minor modifications, none of which fundamentally change the Plan's contents or direction. The District Council will formally consider her report in March.
It is likely that the referendum will be held on 5 May, to combine with the Police and Crime Commissioner elections on that date.
