Phase Underway: Independent Inspection
The next stage for the Hoe Neighbourhood Plan is independent inspection. Plymouth City Council has appointed a qualified examiner, Deborah McCann, to determine whether the plan meets the basic conditions for a neighbourhood plan and any other legal requirements. The examiner will review the latest version of our plan documents and the comments received during the Regulation 16 consultation to make this determination.
