Consultation on Proposed Main Modifications
Following the conclusion of the examination hearings in late June, the Inspector issued her post hearings letter to the Council (ED16) identifying that Policy 2 – Net Zero Carbon Development of the Salt Cross Area Action Plan as submitted is unsound, but that it could be made sound through proposed Main Modifications (MMs)
The Inspector asked the Council to prepare a schedule of Main Modifications for formal consultation based on those issues identified within her letter.
The schedule of Main Modifications has been prepared and consultation on these is taking place over a 6-week period from 3 October to 14 November 2025.
The schedule of Main Modifications is available to download below along with an updated Sustainability Appraisal Addendum Note prepared by independent consultants LUC.
