Stage 1 matter statement responses
Matter 1: legal compliance and general plan-making
Council response to the inspector:
CBC/MIQ/001 v2 Written Statement Matter 1 Legal Compliance and Plan Making
Crawley Borough Council document CBC/MIQ/001 Written Statement Matter 1 Legal Compliance and Plan Making has been revised and version 2 has been reissued to correct a typo error in paragraph 1.11.5. This previously referred to the public consultations for both the Horsham District Local Plan Review and the Mid Sussex District Plan Review as being Regulation 19 consultations. This was not the case for either, and the paragraph has now been corrected to confirm these consultations were under Regulation 18
