BHCC49 Schedule of Proposed Additional Modifications, February 2022
1. The Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2 was submitted to the Secretary of State on 13 May 2020. Public hearings were held in November 2021.
2. As part of the examination process a number of proposed Additional (Minor) Modifications have been identified. The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (as amended) allows the Local Planning Authority to make additional (minor) modifications to the plan on adoption, but only if they do not materially affect the Plan’s policies. These additional modifications are not subject to the formal examination and generally address minor issues of clarity.
3. Table 1 identifies the proposed Additional Modifications (AM) the Authority proposes at this stage. These Additional Modifications will only be considered by the Authority and not by the Planning Inspectorate as they do not relate to the soundness of the plan. To view the Main Modifications please refer to the Schedule of Proposed Main Modifications BHCC44.
4. Table 2 identifies the proposed additional modifications the Authority proposes at this stage in relation to the Implementation and Monitoring Plan (SD04) identified as IMP#. These Additional Modifications will only be considered by the Authority and not by the Planning Inspectorate as they do not relate to the soundness of the plan.
5. The proposed additional modifications are generally expressed in the form of strikethrough for deletions of text and underlined for additions of text and are set out in the same order as the April 2020 Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2.
