Burbage Neighbourhood Development Plan

Regulation 14 Consultation

Following years of evidence gathering and preparing the plan, the pre-submission version of the Burbage Neighbourhood Plan went out for consultation for six weeks and concluded on Monday 20 November 2017. 

Strategic environmental assessment screening determination

The purpose of a screening statement is to set out a screening opinion in relation to whether a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) process is required to accompany the development of a neighbourhood plan. The screening statement is to be provided to the statutory consultation bodies for SEA for their opinion. 

The Borough Council has issued an SEA screening opinion report and determination in relation to the draft Burbage Neighbourhood Plan. The screening determination is that a strategic environmental assessment and habitat regulations assessment of the Burbage Neighbourhood Plan is not required due to there being no adverse comments from the statutory consultation bodies and for the reasons set out in the Burbage strategic environmental assessment screening statement:

• Strategic environmental assessment screening statement (PDF)
• Screening determination notice under Regulation 9(1) (PDF)

A hard copy of the documents can be made available on request at the Hinckley Hub. 

Designation and initial consultation

In November 2013, Burbage Parish Council submitted an application to develop a neighbourhood plan which will cover the area of the Burbage parish boundary. 

A six-week consultation on whether this was an appropriate area to undertake a neighbourhood development plan ended on 24 January 2014.

Following this consultation, the Borough Council formally designated the Burbage Neighbourhood Area.
