Following the Local  Inquiry, which took place between February and May 2005, the Council has now received the Inspector’s Report.  

The publication date of the Inspector's report is 17th May 2006. 

Report Availability

The Inspector’s Report can be inspected from 17th May 2006 in Council offices at;

• Trimbridge House, Bath;
• Riverside and the Town Hall, Keynsham;
• The Hollies, Midsomer Norton;
• and all public libraries within the District including the mobile library;
• and on the Council’s website 

Due to the size of the report its distribution is being encouraged primarily through electronic means.  However, paper copies can be purchased at the price of £15 + £5 p.&p. A CD version is available at £5 which includes p.&p.  

Next Stages

The statutory process means that the Council will first need to consider the report and then publish proposed modifications for comments.    The document is scheduled to be reported to the Council Executive in June, July and September 2006.  Modifications to the Plan arising from Executive decisions are due to be published for public comment in the Autumn.  Therefore please do not send any representations on the Inspector’s Report to the Council at this stage.  You will be contacted again at that time to give you the opportunity to make representations.
