The borough council will consider all the representations submitted under the first consultation, known as a Regulation 18 consultation, next Spring, and may then amend the plan before embarking on a second round of public consultation, known as a Regulation 19 consultation, next August and September.
It may then amend the plan again based on the feedback before the plan goes to a meeting of the full council to adopt it as the the final development plan for submission to the Government.
