What is consultation?
Consultation is a statutory process (i.e. legally required) aimed at gathering public opinion on specific proposals or issues, in order to inform decisions on policies, strategies and plans.
In a Local Plan setting there are typically two stages of consultation; Options Document and Draft Local Plan. These stages must comply with the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) Regulations (2012).
