Pre-Submission (Reg.19) of the South Downs Local Plan
The South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) published the Pre-Submission Local Plan for consultation from 26 September 2017 to 21 November 2017. We received over 2500 comments from over 500 individuals or organisations. Please note the consultation on the Pre-Submission Local Plan has now closed and we are no longer able to accept comments. The SDNPA have submitted the Local Plan and supporting documents to the Secretary of State for examination.
Alongside the Pre-Submission Local Plan we 
asked for comments on a number of other supporting documents, including the Sustainability Appraisal and the Habitats Regulation Assessment, all comments received can be found below.
