County Durham Plan Examination in Public

The Examination in Public of the County Durham Plan has started. The first event held was a Pre-Hearing Meeting in the County Durham Cricket Ground on 31st July. I attended this meeting on behalf of the Forum.  At the meeting the Inspector explained the procedural details for the EiP. The first hearings will start on 1st October. For details of the EiP plus relevant documents vist the Council’s consultation website. The Forum is planning to attend the hearing sessions relevant to the Durham City area covered by the Forum. A copy of the response we made to the pre-submision version of the Plan is available: Forum Response County Plan Consultation. Deadlines for action on the EiP: 8th August: apply to attend specific sessions; 29th August: submit documents for each of these sessions.
