Why your views matter

The Regulation 19 consultation is the last stage of public engagement before submitting the draft plan to the Inspectorate for examination.

The Stamford Hill AAP (Regulation 19 Publication Version), comments received on it, and all related evidence documents will then be submitted to the government for an independent examination. A Planning Inspector will be appointed to test the plan to establish whether it is ‘sound’. To be sound, a Plan needs to:

• meet the objectively assessed needs of an area
• be justified by evidence
• be able to be effectively implemented and 
• should be consistent with national planning policies. 

To ensure legal compliance, the plan should:

• have been prepared in accordance with our latest local development scheme
• be accompanied by a sustainability appraisal and habitat regulations assessment
• have a consultation carried out in accordance with our statement of community
• involvement
• comply with all relevant laws including the Town and Country
• Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012
• be in general conformity with the London Plan.

All written submissions received whether on the forms, separate emails or letters will be submitted to the Planning Inspector for examination along with the AAP as soon as possible after the close of consultation. 

The process for the examinations is set in Local Plans: the examination process. 
The Planning Inspectorate has produced a useful video, explaining the process, more simply.
