Following information recently given to Parish Councils, this plan, which had been refused by NKDC, was understood to go to appeal in Feb 2026, as the Planning Inspectorate had determined a "Public Inquiry" would be held.
However, the appellant submitted additional documentation, and those documents were accepted by the Council Planning Committee on 18th November. Therefore, there has been a procedural change from a public inquiry to a written representation. This change has been instigated by the Planning Inspectorate and not NKDC.
As a result, questions/queries or concerns need to be addressed directly to the Planning Inspectorate by the 26th December 2025. Please use the Planning Inspectorate portal
