Slaugham Neighbourhood Plan falls Foul of EU Environmental Requirements

After an Independent Examination by Ann Skippers of Ann Skippers Planning, Slaugham's Neighbourhood Plan regrettable deems it 'not compatible with the requirements of European Union obligations insofar as a Strategic Environmental Assessment is required', that submitted was not satisfactory and therefore advises is should not proceed to a  referendum. 


Additionally, 3 identified housing sites and target not to be based on sufficiently robust evidence given the great weight of the NPPF in respect of AONBs and the site not necessarily being suitable or deliverable 


Some lessons to be learnt.
