Second Submitted Neighbourhood Plan Consultation - 7 January to 18 February 2022

Following the submission of the Broadway Neighbourhood Plan on 5 July 2021, Wychavon District Council invited comments from individuals and organisations under Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 from 23 July to 3 September 2021. Wychavon District Council appointed Edwards Cousins of Radcliffe Chambers, Lincoln’s Inn to conduct the Examination of the Broadway Neighbourhood Plan, with the Examination commencing in October 2021.
