All valid representations received at the St Helens Borough Local Plan 2020 – 2035 Submission Draft (2019) stage are available to view via the links in the Examination Library below. In accordance with the requirements of the Planning Inspectorate, the representations are provided in two formats. One set of documents (document references: SD008.1-SD008.27) contain representations in ‘representor’ order. In these documents the full representations made by all representors are provided in alphabetical order (based on representor’s surnames).
Another set of documents (SD007.1-SD007.35) contain the representations in ‘Plan’ order (this is the order they relate to different parts and policies within the Plan). Many of the representations relate to multiple parts and policies within the Plan. Only the part of the representation relating to a specific part or policy within the Plan have been included under the relevant section within documents SD007-SD007.35. As set out above, full representations can be viewed in the representor order representation documents (document references: SD008.1-SD008.27).
Documents SD007 and SD008 provide an index of representor names and associated representor and Plan order reference numbers.
In respect to submitted petitions, only the lead petitioner’s details (the individual that submitted the petition) have been used. Therefore, details of those individuals that signed a petition are not set out in the representor order and Plan order document indexes (SD007 and SD008), just that of the lead petitioner. The full petition documents are provided in the representor order representation documents (document references: SD008.1-SD008.27). Where a representation had five or more signatories, they were treated as a petition.
Further information about representations received at the Local Plan 2020 – 2035 Submission Draft (2019) stage can be found in section 4.3 of the Consultation Statement (document reference: SD004). The Consultation Statement describes how St Helens Borough Council has undertaken community participation and stakeholder involvement in the production of the Local Plan. The document sets out how such efforts have shaped the Plan, together with the key and main issues raised by representations at the St Helens Borough Local Plan 2020 – 2035 Submission Draft (2019) stage, and where appropriate, the council’s response.
The Submission Documents include some that have only recently been published – a draft schedule of changes (SD003), an updated Infrastructure Delivery Plan (SD013), Green Belt Review Stage 2B proformas (SD021) and a number of Background Papers (SD22-28). There will be an opportunity to comment on these documents later in the examination process.
The format of the Regulation 22 Consultation Statement (SD004) has been amended at the Inspectors’ request. The updated document replaces the original submission document.
