Since the Pre-Submission Consultation Documents were published in July last year, the NP Steering Committee has received a lot of feedback from both residents and statutory consultees.

The plan has been amended to reflect this feedback.
Peter Rose, the Chairman of the Steering Committee gives a detailed update on the process and what will happen next here.
