Cabinet approved the draft North Weald Bassett Strategic Masterplan
Framework and commencement of the public consultation for the NWB
Strategic Masterplan Area allocation identified under Policy P6 in
the Adopted Local Plan.

Cabinet noted the staged public consultation would take place over
a minimum of 8 weeks from mid-November 2023 and would run through

was to provide the public with the widest possible contribution and
to take into account the Christmas / New Year period.
 
(3)        That the
Cabinet noted a further update would be provided to share the
results of the public consultation, any updates to the masterplan
and/or framework document to reflect consultation and to endorse
the masterplan, so that it could be given appropriate weight as a
material planning consideration in the determination of future
planning applications.
