pdf.pngBNP Submission Document HOTUPDATED [Size 7.42 MB] - Created 2023-04-11 - Changed 2024-12-14
This is the Botley Parish Neighbourhood Plan Submission Document, referred hereinafter as the Plan.  It has been sent to Eastleigh Borough Council (EBC) as Stage 16 of the process of adoption.  Having been accepetd in priciple by EBC it is now formally at Stage 16. In this stage EBC have to consult with various bodies such  utilty compaies, neighbouring Borough Councils and, most importantly, once again with the people of Botley.  The Botley NP  Committee will be assisting EBC in this process.
The Neighbourhood Plan itself is a large document of just over 8 MByte so it may take a time to download.  There are 4 minor corrections listed in the Errata document since it was printed.
At the completion of Stage 16 EBC will appoint a Government Planning Inspector to formally examine the Plan.
When the Inspector is satisfied that the Plan is compliant with Neighborhood Planning requirements, a Referendum of Botley Residents will be carried out by EBC as the final decision process, which is a simple majority of thse who vote in the referendum.  Details of the final referedum will be circulated when dates are known.
If there is a simple majority of those who vote in the referendum then the Plan will become part of the Local Plan when assessing planning applications in Botley.  In this context the Plan seeks to give greater protection from large scale developments.  However a Neighbourhood Plan is unable to declare there will absolutely be no further developments.
