Bilbrook Neighbourhood Plan

Bilbrook Parish Council submitted its draft Neighbourhood Development Plan to the council, for consultation under Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.

Comments were invited from organisations and individuals, and other interested parties on the submitted Neighbourhood Plan during the 6-week consultation period. The six week consultation period was open from Tuesday, 14th April and closed at the end of Wednesday, 27th May 2026. A period of additional consultation between Friday, 10th July, and 12pm midday Friday, 24th July 2026 was also undertaken at the request of the Examiner. Further details can be found under the 'Regulation 16 Additional Consultation' section below.

South Staffordshire Council has collated all representations and passed them on to an independent examiner, who will look at them and the plan documents when assessing whether the plan meets legislative requirements. If the Examiner is satisfied that the plan passes the tests the plan will then be the subject of a referendum open to residents of the parish to determine whether they support the plan.

Responses to both the consultations can be found on the council's website at: https://www.sstaffs.gov.uk/bilbrook-neighbourhood-plan-regulation-16-consultation.
