Purpose of an Examination
Development Plan Documents (DPDs) are subject to independent
scrutiny by way of an Examination, during which time an independent
Planning Inspector considers whether a DPD is "sound". There is no
legal definition of "sound" but in this context the ordinary
meaning of "showing good judgement" and "able to be trusted" is
used.
Following the oral Examination sessions, the Inspector writes a
report on the DPD, which is binding on the Council.
The
Brief Guide to Examining Development Plans
published by the Planning Inspectorate gives a summary of the 9
tests of soundness and explains the Examination process in
general.
Draft Lists of Main Matters
The Inspectors have drawn up the initial draft Lists of Main
Matters for Examination. A list of initial questions for the Main
Matter of Telford Town Centre and District Centres (which was not
included on the initial draft list of Main Matters) has been
released.
