Brightwell cum Sotwell Modified Neighbourhood Plan 2011 – 35

Brightwell cum Sotwell Parish Council took the decision to update its neighbourhood plan in November 2021 to bring it in line with new legislation and planning practice. The existing neighbourhood plan has been modified by a sub group of the Parish Council with support from SODC and consultants ONeilHomer alongside a series of public drop in sessions and presentations. The draft modified neighbourhood plan has been written to help inform how future development takes place, based on evidence, to help conserve what is best about the parish of Brightwell cum Sotwell.

This six week public stakeholder consultation is being carried out by the Parish Council and is known as Regulation 14. Details on how to comment and where to view a copy of the plan are found below. Once comments have been received, the plan will be reviewed and passed with its supporting documents to South Oxfordshire District Council where it will be checked against legislation (known as Regulation 15). Responsibility will then rest with SODC which will undertake a further formal consultation (known as Regulation 16) before the plan is subject to formal examination by an independent examiner.

The draft Neighbourhood Plan modifications and supporting documents are available ONLINE at:
www.brightwellcumsotwellpc.co.uk
Paper copies are available to view in the Parish Office, The Red Lion and the Village Stores (please see the parish council website for opening hours). Two public drop in sessions will be held, in the Stewart Room Village Hall: 10-12am Sat 2 April, 6-8pm Tue 5 April
