Comment on the Plan
What is this neighbourhood plan?
A neighbourhood plan includes policies on the development of Whitburn in the next 20 years. The Plan, once adopted, will be used to test planning applications in Whitburn. It is the best tool residents will have to influence development in our area!
The first draft of the Plan is called the pre-submission plan, which is consulted on according to regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012. Residents are notified of the consultation through this website, on social media, in the local newspaper and through a leaflet that will be delivered to houses in Whitburn.
After the consultation, the draft will be amended based on your feedback, that of the council and other consultation bodies. This will result in a submission Plan that will be handed over to the council. If they approve the Plan, it will be looked over by a planning inspector. After further amendments, residents will then vote on adopting the Plan in a local referendum.
