Regulation 15 Submission & Regulation 16 Consultation

Bagworth & Thornton Parish Council (as the lead Qualifying Body for this neighbourhood plan) submitted the Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton Under Bardon Neighbourhood Plan to the Council in January 2025, and the Council accepted this submission on 14 February 2025.

As a result, the Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton Under Bardon Neighbourhood Plan was subject to consultation, called the Regulation 16 Submission Consultation. The consultation ran for just over six weeks, from 12pm Friday 14 March 2025 to 12pm Tuesday 29 April 2025.

The documents that were subject to the consultation, including the draft neighbourhood plan document and all supporting documentation, can be viewed via the following links:

Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Determination

The purpose of a screening statement is to set out whether a full Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and/or Habitat Regulation Assessment (HRA) is required to accompany the development of a neighbourhood plan. The screening statement is consulted on with three statutory bodies, Natural England, Environment Agency and Historic England, to give their opinion on whether a SEA is required. The Borough Council issued a SEA screening report and determination in relation to the draft Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton Under Bardon Neighbourhood Plan. The screening determination is that a SEA or HRA of the Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton Under Bardon Neighbourhood Plan is not required due to there being no adverse comments from the statutory consultation bodies and for the reasons set out in the Bagworth, Thornton and Stanton Under Bardon and strategic environmental assessment screening statement. However, Historic England did request a Heritage Impact Assessment. More information can be found in the documents below:
