Comments made during this period helped inform changes made to the document submitted to Wychavon District Council. The Neighbourhood Plan proposed a number of policies on housing, facilities and services, the natural environment, the built environment, and the economy.
It was the responsibility of Wychavon District Council to collate all responses to the Regulation 16 consultation and pass them on to an independent examiner, who will assess them and the Neighbourhood Plan documents to determine whether the Neighbourhood Plan meets the relevant legislation and should proceed to a Referendum.
