Crudwell Neighbourhood Plan: Outcome of the Examination Process and Preparations for the Referendum

The Hindon Neighbourhood Plan Decision Statement and the examiner's report are available to be downloaded below.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA) of the Crudwell Neighbourhood Plan

In September 2018, the Crudwell Draft Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to Wiltshire Council for assessment to determine whether it is likely to have significant environmental effects. The draft plan was screened in accordance with Part II of The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 to determine whether SEA was necessary, in consultation with the statutory environmental bodies. Separately, it was screened in accordance with the Habitat Regulations to determine whether an 'appropriate assessment' (AA) was necessary. Wiltshire Council had determined that the Crudwell Draft Neighbourhood Plan is not likely to have significant environmental effects and that an environmental assessment is not required in respect of the draft plan. The Determination under Regulation 9(1) and the accompanying Statement can be viewed below via the link.

In light of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruling for People Over Wind and Sweetman v Coillte Teoranta the 'test of likely significance', regulatory changes were made in December 2018. The HRA report for the Crudwell Neighbourhood Plan has been revised to include an appropriate assessment of the Plan. The revised HRA report was issued to Natural England in September 2020 and it was confirmed that they supported the conclusions that the proposal in the Plan will not result in adverse effects of any of the sites in question.

The need for an AA triggers the need for a SEA, unless one of two exemptions applies, and a Reg 9(1) determination concludes that the neighbourhood plan is unlikely to result in significant environmental effects. The original SEA screening report and the Reg 9(1) determination have been revised to acknowledge the need to consider this automatic trigger and, in summary, it is concluded that the "small area at local level" exemption applies and, therefore, a Reg 9(1) determination needed to be made.

The original SEA screening report had already concluded that a Reg 9(1) determination was not needed to be made and the result of this determination is unchanged, therefore, the revised SEA Screening Report (provided below) has been amended merely to document the change to the route by which this conclusion was reached.

West Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan: Outcome of the Examination Process and Preparations for the Referendum

Following examiner Anne Skippers issuing her report on the examination of the West Ashton Neighbourhood Plan, Wiltshire Council have also now issued the Decision Statement to the Parish Council, as qualifying body; and notified all those with an interest in the neighbourhood development plan.

The West Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan Decision Statement and the examiner's report are available to be downloaded below.

Examination

Ann Skippers has been appointed to carry out the examination of the West Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan, which has been submitted to Wiltshire Council and has been subject to a period of public consultation. She will consider if the plan meets the five basic conditions in Paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 4B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

The examiner will consider the neighbourhood plan submission, along with the representations that were received during Wiltshire Council's public consultation.

Habitat Regulations Screening Assessment

A revised Habitats Regulations Assessment screening document has been produced, dated September 2021. This confirms the conclusions of the previous screening, dated November 2020, that the Submission Draft of the West Ashton Neighbourhood Development Plan will not result in a likely significant effect on any protected sites that form part of the national sites network or their qualifying features, either alone or in-combination with other plans and projects. Therefore, it has not been necessary for the neighbourhood plan to be subject to an appropriate assessment under the Conservation of Habitats and Species (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
