Local Plan Main Modifications Consultation
Representation Form
Monday 17th October – Monday 28th November 2016
Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Development Plan Document &
Felixstowe Peninsula Area Action Plan
Please fill in a separate form for each representation you wish to make.
The Main Modifications consultation is part of the independent public examination into the
Site Allocations and Area Specific Policies Development Plan Document & Felixstowe
Peninsula Area Action Plan. The consultation follows on from public examination hearings
in August and September 2016, at which an independent government inspector assessed
the soundness and legal compliance of the plan in detail.
During the examination, a number of Main Modifications and Additional Changes were
proposed to the documents. A Main Modification is classed as any modification which
needs to be made to the policies or other content in order to make the plan legally
compliant and/or sound. An Additional Change is classed as a minor change which does not
affect the substance of the policy wording, including minor corrections and factual updates.
The schedules published on the Council’s website list the Main Modifications and Additional
Changes, with a reference number for each. In addition a Sustainability Appraisal and
Habitats Regulation Assessment have been undertaken and these should be read alongside
the schedules.
At this stage, comments are only invited on the Main Modifications and Additional Changes.
At the end of the consultation period, all “duly-made” representations on the Main
Modifications will be passed to the Inspector for consideration before issuing her report
recommending whether or not the plan is sound and legally compliant. Please note that
representations on the Additional Changes will not be passed to the Inspector, but will be
considered by the Council alone.
