The next stage of consultation on the Sites and Housing Development Planning Document (DPD) is when the full draft for consultation is published. This should happen in January 2012, and is referred to as the Proposed Submission stage. The document will be considered by full Council at the 19 December meeting, ahead of the public consultation. The two parts of the document are to form a single DPD, therefore there will be just one report to cover both Housing Policies and Site Allocations.
Following the consultation, the final document will be submitted to the Secretary of State (in other words, to the Planning Inspectorate) at which point the document begins to be formally examined. There will be no further full Council meeting at this stage. Its likely that the examination hearings (i.e. when the public etc get to speak directly to the Inspector) would not be until September.
You will recall that the Site Allocations paper will set out the proposals for development for a number of sites in Headington, including Headington Car Park
