Consultations and Independent Examination

Consultation & Independent Examination

Residents were consulted four times during drafting of the Plan, including the statutory consultation phases and a survey which was delivered to every resident of the Parish. These comments clarified and strengthened the Plan.

The submission version of the Plan was delivered to Hart District Council in November 2021, who initiated a further period of consultation. This new set of comments together with the submission version of the Plan was delivered to the Independent Examiner in January 2022, who commended the Plan and proposed that it should proceed to referendum, following some minor amendments. The Examiner’s Report can be viewed on Hart District Council’s website – Examiner’s Report.

Details of each consultation period are listed below.

Phase 1 – Initial Public Consultation

In the spring of 2018, the group held an initial public consultation to establish the community preferences for the Neighbourhood Plan objectives.

The Neighbourhood Plan affects everyone in the area, regardless of age. So as part of the initial public consultations, local schools were approached to gather the views of the younger residents of Yateley, Darby Green and Frogmore.

Spring 2020 Public Survey and Results

As part of the public consultation, the Steering Group launched a public Survey on 29 February 2020 – the second public consultation.

The aim of this was to solicit feedback from local residents and use the opinions expressed to modify the draft Neighbourhood Plan to ensure it is a true reflection of the public’s aspirations for a neighbourhood plan.
