Development management policies modifications
Following the completion of the hearing sessions, the Authority has now published a schedule of Main Modifications to the published version of the DMP document. The Inspector considers that modifications are necessary in order for the DMP document to be found 'sound'. We have also published a schedule of Additional Modifications which consists of changes to correct typographical errors and provide factual updates.
For reference we have prepared a 'tracked changes' version of the DMP document, with the main and additional modifications shown as amendments. We have also produced a 'clean' version of the DMP document, which shows the DMP document incorporating all of the main and additional modifications proposed.
Alongside the schedules, we have also prepared an Addendum to the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) to re-assess some of the policies with the DMP document that are subject to modification, as well as an Addendum to the Habitats Regulation Assessment (HRA).

Next steps
Comments were invited on the above documents between Monday 10th December 2018 until Monday 28th January 2019. All of the comments received during this time can be found here and have been submitted to the Inspector.
The Inspector will consider all the comments received and decide whether any further hearings are required and if any issues need to be revisited. The Inspector will then present his final conclusion in a report. If the report concludes that the DMP document is ‘sound’, the Council can proceed to adopt the DMP document and associated Policies Map, subject to making the modifications identified.
