Under Regulation 17 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, the Rolleston on Dove Neighbourhood Development Plan was submitted for examination. The examination was undertaken in the summer of 2019 by an independent examiner. The examiner’s report which can be found here, concluded that the Rolleston on Dove Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions and recommended to East Staffordshire Borough Council that, subject to modifications, it should proceed to Referendum.

Modifications were made to the Neighbourhood Plan and formally agreed by the Council on 18th February 2020. A formal Decision Statement is available here. An Executive Decision Record (EDR) which was signed on 4th March 2020 was produced to formally agree the appointed Examiner’s changes to the ‘Made’ Rolleston on Dove revised Neighbourhood Plan, and for the plan to proceed to referendum.

The Referendum Version of the Neighbourhood Plan has been agreed and can be viewed here. The referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan was due to take place in May 2020, however due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, this has been deferred. It is hoped that the referendum can take place in 2021. More information on the forthcoming referendum will be provided in due course.

Under Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Rolleston on Dove Parish Council has submitted its draft Neighbourhood Development Plan (Neighbourhood Plan) to East Staffordshire Borough Council.  In accordance with Regulation 16, the Borough Council would like to invite comments from organisations and individuals on the submitted Neighbourhood Plan.  The consultation period lasts 6 weeks and runs from Friday 15^th March 2019 to Wednesday 1^st May 2019 at 5pm.

The Neighbourhood Plan, written by a group made up of members from the community proposes a number of policies on design and Local Green Spaces, amongst others.   

The Neighbourhood Development Plan submission is split into the following documents:

• Rolleston on Dove Draft Neighbourhood Plan

• Basic Conditions Statement including SEA

• Consultation Statement and Appendices

It is the responsibility of the Borough Council to collate all the representations and pass them on to an independent examiner, who will look at them and the Plan documents when assessing whether the plan meets the legislation and can therefore proceed to referendum.

Hard copies of the plan can be found at:

• Burton Library

• Burton Town Hall

Comments can be made by filling in the representation form and emailing it to the Neighbourhood Planning Team: neighbourhoodplanning@eaststaffsbc.gov.uk

Or sending it by post to: Neighbourhood Planning, Town Hall, King Edward Place, Burton on Trent, DE14 2EB
