Background

Tasburgh Parish Council submitted the Tasburgh Neighbourhood Plan and other required documents to South Norfolk Council in July 2023. The submitted documents were checked by the local planning authority against the relevant criteria in Schedule 4B of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 and were approved for publication.

In accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations, 2012 (as amended), there followed a period of consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan. A summary of the representations received during the consultation can be viewed in the documents section, below.

Mr Andrew Ashcroft was appointed to carry out an independent examination of the Plan following this consultation period. The examiner considered not only the submitted Neighbourhood Plan documents, but also the representations that were submitted during the consultation, and the responses to the examiner’s clarification note.

On 5 February 2024, the Examiner issued his final report. It contains a number of recommended modifications and states that, subject to these being implemented, the Tasburgh Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions and that it should proceed to a local referendum.

South Norfolk Council subsequently issued a decision statement detailing their intention to send the Neighbourhood Plan to a referendum, subject to modifications being made as specified by the examiner.

The referendum was held on 2 May 2024, where 85% of those voting did so in favour of the Neighbourhood Plan.

The Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents can also be viewed in the documents section.
