Examination in Public
The Secretary of State appointed Jill Kingaby BSc (Econ) MSc MRTPI, of the Planning Inspectorate, to conduct the Examination into the compliance and soundness of the Core Strategy. The examination was held between 26th July and 5th August 2010.
Following the Examination in Public, the City Council consulted on a schedule of amendments with those who submitted at Publication Draft stage. This consultation closed at 5pm, Wednesday 15th September 2010. All responses were forwarded to the Inspector. The Inspector will then consider any responses to this consultation and all other material relevant to the examination, and prepare her binding report on the soundness of the Core Strategy. Once the binding report has been sent to the City Council, the examination is closed. The Inspector's finalised binding report is anticipated in November 2010.
