Mayland
Regulation 16 consultation
The Mayland Neighbourhood Plan (MNP) has been developed by Mayland Parish Council and proposes local planning policies for Mayland. Once ‘made’ (adopted) a Neighbourhood Plan has the same legal status as the district wide Local Development Plan and will be used alongside the Local Plan in deciding planning applications within the Parish.
We are now seeking your views on the MNP and its supporting documents. Comments received will be used by the Independent Examiner and the District Council to help decide if the proposed Neighbourhood Plan meets the ‘basic conditions’.
Only a draft neighbourhood Plan that meets each of a set of basic conditions can be put to a referendum and be made. The basic conditions are set out in paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B to the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as applied to neighbourhood plans by section 38A of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004. The basic conditions are:
-
having regard to national policies and advice contained in guidance issued by the Secretary of State it is appropriate to make the neighbourhood plan.
-
the making of the neighbourhood plan contributes to the achievement of sustainable development.
-
the making of the neighbourhood plan is in general conformity with the strategic policies contained in the development plan for the area of the authority (or any part of that area).
-
the making of the neighbourhood plan does not breach, and is otherwise compatible with, EU obligations.
-
prescribed conditions are met in relation to the Plan and prescribed matters have been complied with in connection with the proposal for the order (or neighbourhood plan).
Regulations 32 and 33 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) prescribe a further basic condition in relation to neighbourhood plans, in addition to those set out in the primary legislation. This is:
-
the making of the neighbourhood plan does not breach the requirements of Chapter 8 of Part 6 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, which set out the habitat regulation assessment process for land use plans, including consideration of the effect on habitats sites. (See Schedule 2 to the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) in relation to the examination of neighbourhood development plans.)

Purpose for processing
Maldon District Council holds and processes your data as it has a public task as a local planning authority to prepare a Development Plan for the District, together with voluntary obligations to prepare accompanying Supplementary Planning Documents, planning guidance, Community Infrastructure Levy and assist in the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans. This allows us to use your data to invite you to meetings, workshops or forums, as well as invite you to take part in public consultations. It is also a legal obligation for us to process this data as required by the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012, the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 and the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (as amended).
The Council may use this data to contact you, from time to time on these matters if you have indicated that you wish to be kept informed, or if you have submitted comments into a public consultation.
Please note: Any comments submitted into a public consultation on the Development Plan, Supplementary Planning Documents, planning guidance, Community Infrastructure Levy and Neighbourhood Plans will be made public and will be submitted to the Secretary of State who will pass them onto a Planning Inspector they appoint along with any relevant supporting evidence following the consultations. Your comments and name will be published but other personal information will remain confidential.
Your comments may not be published in full where they are openly offensive or defamatory or contain personal data.
Any comments submitted into a Council consultation on the Development Plan, Neighbourhood Plan or Community Infrastructure Levy will be reviewed by a Planning Inspector. You may be invited by the Inspector to discuss your comments at the Examination in Public.
If you choose not to provide your data for this purpose, or ask us to erase your data, you will be unable to participate in the Development Plan, neighbourhood planning, Supplementary Planning Documents, planning guidance and Community Infrastructure Levy processes.
Length of time we keep your information
Your data will be used until the Development Plans, Supplementary Planning Documents, Guidance and Community Infrastructure Levy are adopted by Maldon District Council. Your data will be deleted six years after adoption of the last document to be adopted, or 6 years after the making of a Neighbourhood Plan. This 6-year period allows for a review of the made/adopted documents.
