Supporting Evidence

The evidence supporting the proposed Matters Arising Changes (MACs) is located within the LDP Examination Library

In particular, regard should be had to the Examination Documents.

These include Examination Document ED039 Action Points arising from Hearing Sessions, because the proposed MACs reflect the action points (AP) agreed by the Planning Inspector as part of the LDP hearing sessions (March - July 2017).

Supporting evidence in relation to Policy RE1 - Renewable Energy and Solar Local Search Areas (MAC123 and MAC124)

Given the high level of interest shown in relation to the renewable energy proposals contained in the LDP.  Collated below in date order for ease of reference are the links to the supporting evidence held in the Examination Library.
