Monitoring and Review

The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared to guide development up to 2036. It is unlikely that the Neighbourhood Plan will remain current and completely relevant for the entire plan period and may, in whole or in part, require amendment before 2036.

This is particularly relevant as Mendip District Council will cease to exist on 23rd April 2023, replaced by a Unitary Authority for Somerset.

The main question to be asked through the monitoring process is “Are planning applications being determined in accordance with Neighbourhood Plan policies?”

In all cases, the Town Council and its partners will undertake a partial review of the Neighbourhood Plan in line with the Local Plan Review, with a full review no later than 2027.
