The Cannington Neighbourhood Plan was formally submitted to Somerset Council on 18 October 2024. Somerset Council was satisfied that the submission met the requirements of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended). In accordance with those regulations, Somerset Council publicised the Plan for a period of six weeks from 1 November 2024 to 13 December 2024. The independent examination is now underway.
The Independent Examiner advised in a letter of 22 January 2025 of intended deletions with regard to Cannington Local Visual Landscape Study (June 2019) and reference to it within the Natural and Built Environment Section of the Plan and in Policies DEV02 and ENV01.
The Parish Council considered the Examiner’s letter and requested that the Examiner continue with the Examination. The intended deletions were publicised by Somerset Council and comments were invited.
