Submission of the Bassetlaw Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD

Bassetlaw District Council formally submitted the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD to the Planning Inspectorate on Monday 31 January 2011. The Secretary of State appointed Chris Anstey BA (Hons) DIPTP DIPLA MRTPI as the independent Inspector to conduct the Examination.

Following scrutiny during public hearing sessions which took place between Tuesday 17 and Thursday 26 May 2011, the Council consulted on post-hearing changes, recommended by the Inspector, and on possible implications of the Draft National Planning Policy Framework on the DPD.

The Council expects to receive the Inspector’s Report on the Examination on Friday 4 November. The information contained on these web pages will therefore be updated in due course.
