Introduction 1.1 The purpose of this Consultation Statement is to set out details of the consultation undertaken in the preparation of the Burnley Local Plan. It has been produced in order to meet the requirements of Regulation 19 and 17(d) of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 as amended. 1.2 It sets out high level summary details of the responses made during the three stage Regulation 18 consultation. It highlights the main issues raised and outlines how these have been addressed in the Local Plan that is proposed to be submitted to the Secretary of State. 2. Consultation Requirements 2.1 Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2012 as amended requires that in preparing a Local Plan (1) A local planning authority must— (a) notify each of the bodies or persons specified in paragraph (2) of the subject of a local plan which the local planning authority propose to prepare, and (b) invite each of them to make representations to the local planning authority about what a local plan with that subject ought to contain. (2) The bodies or persons referred to in paragraph (1) are— (a) such of the specific consultation bodies as the local planning authority consider may have an interest in the subject of the proposed local plan; (b) such of the general consultation bodies as the local planning authority consider appropriate; and (c) such residents or other persons carrying on business in the local planning authority’s area from which the local planning authority consider it appropriate to invite representations. (3) In preparing the local plan, the local planning authority must take into account any representation made to them in response to invitations under paragraph (1). 2.2 Regulation 18 stage is flexible and need not necessarily comprise a single event. 2.3 The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act requires the Council to produce Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). This explains what the Council will do to involve the community and other stakeholders in the preparation and revision of local development documents (including the Local Plan) and how the community will be consulted on planning applications. Burnley Borough Council adopted its initial Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) on 5th September 2007. This was updated in July 2015 to reflect the reality of the Council’s revised planning staffing and financial resources and changes in legislation, plan-making procedures and community structures. It was adopted by Council’s Executive on 14 July 2015. 2.4 The SCI sets out how the Council intends to comply with the statutory requirements and consult at Regulation 18 and other plan stages. The 2015 SCI revision took account of comments made on the consultation process at the Issues and Options stages of the Local Plan’s Development. 3. Summary of Consultation Stages 3.1 The Council opted for a multi-stage approach to the Regulation 18 consultation in broad alignment line with the approach of its earlier SCI when such stages were a statutory requirement of plan-making. It undertook an Issues and Options, Issues and Options Additional Sites and Preferred Options consultation. 3 Burnley Local Plan Regulation 19 and 17(d) Consultation Statement 3.2 The following table sets out the plan-making and consultation stages identified in the SCI and the dates they were undertaken.

    1 Barrowford Parish Council Newsletter Autumn 2019 Barrowford Neighbourhood Plan Nears Residents Referendum Stage After three years and hundreds of hours work including three public consultations the Barrowford Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the Appointed Examiner, Mr Robert Bryan, in April. His comments and amendments have now been received by both Pendle Borough Council and the Parish Council. There now only remain two stages: the approval by Pendle’s Policy and Resources Committee of the Decision Statement which has been drafted by the Planning Department and, once that is approved, a Referendum of Barrowford Residents. It is hoped that this will be in late November but the timetable may alter if a General Election is called. If the Neighbourhood Plan is successful at the Referendum it will be then adopted as part of the Planning Policy Documents within Pendle’s Contents at a Glance Local Plan Page 1: Neighbourhood Plan Pendle Council cut to 33 Members - Pendle Council Re-warding Page 2: Transfer of the Park, After their initial consultations, the Boundary -Silt Removal at Park Lake Commission have decided that Pendle needs -Luncheon Club Update only 33 Councillors, cutting the number from the Page 3: Remembrance Sunday Update current 49.
