• Bow Brickhill Neighbourhood Plan Application

In accordance with Regulation 6 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 Milton Keynes Council consulted residents and other interested stakeholders on this application. The Consultation ran for a 6 week period from Monday 18 March 2013 to Monday 29 April 2013. A copy of the consultation statement can be viewed at the link below.

• Bow Brickhill Neighbourhood Area Application Consultation Statement

This was not a consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan itself, but merely the identification of the area for which the parish or town council wished to prepare a neighbourhood development plan.

Following the close of the 6 week consultation period, Milton Keynes Council considered all the comments received and prepared a report and recommendation to take to the Delegated Decision on the 28 May 2013.
