Submission and Consultation

In May 2012, Wavendon Parish Council applied to Milton Keynes Council, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, to designate a Wavendon Neighbourhood Plan Area.

The application and a statement explaining why and how Wavendon Parish Council intends to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan, and how the organisation and area meet the conditions of Section 61G(2) and 61F(5) of the Town And Country Planning Act, 1990 can be viewed at:

• Wavendon Neighbourhood Plan Application 

In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 Milton Keynes Council consulted residents and other interested stakeholders on this application. The Consultation ran for a 6 week period from Monday 21 May to Monday 2 July 2012. A copy of the consultation statement can be viewed at the link below.

• Wavendon Neighbourhood Area Application Consultation Statement 

This was not a consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan itself, but merely the identification of the area for which the parish or town council wished to prepare a neighbourhood development plan.

Following the close of the 6 week consultation period, Milton Keynes Council considered all the comments received and prepared a report and recommendation to take to Cabinet on the 25 July 2012.
