Main modifications and additional modifications 

Main modifications are material changes to the submitted plan which are necessary to make it sound and legally compliant.  “Additional modifications” (minor modifications) are proposed non-consequential amendments to the Plan not necessary for soundness. This consultation is seeking comments only relating to the main modifications however additional modifications are also published above.

Integrated Impact Assessment (IIA)

The IIA is a document that assesses sustainability, equalities and health and how the policies proposed in the NSP will have on the different growth scenarios. The council undertakes an IIA for all policy documents which is reviewed and monitored throughout the plan preparation process. As a result of the main and minor amendments, the IIA has been updated.

What will happen after this consultation?

All comments will be made public and will be submitted to the Inspectors following this consultation. The Inspectors will then consider the responses and prepare a report for the council around Autumn 2021. The final New Southwark Plan will then be adopted by the council. This is a decision taken by all councillors at Council Assembly.
