Stage 3 Draft Plan

Please note the consultation period has expired and the following is shown for information purposes only.

What was Stage 3 ?

Stage 3 was the final stage of writing up the Draft Plan and supporting documents prior to formal submission.  How the documents were linked together is shown in the diagram below:

When completed, the final plan would be submitted to Torbay Council for formal review by an Independent Examiner.  After the examination had been completed successfully, all registered voters in Paignton would then be asked to decide in a Referendum if the Plan should be approved.  If the answer is “Yes”, it will be Adopted formally and used by the Council when making decisions on planning applications and similar proposals.

Stage 3 was therefore a very important step.

During the week of 2-6 February 2015, every household and business in Paignton was sent a leaflet asking for views on the Draft Plan so far drafted by the Forum.

The response received was then used to finalise the content of the formal consultation draft.

Who has produced the Draft ?

The process has been undertaken by the Forum in steps. Each step has involved volunteers in our community adding more detail to each draft for Forum approval to ensure it remains faithful to the views that have been expressed by our community.  Each version has been called a Skeleton Draft, and each update has added more detail to the last update.
