Regulation 9 Publication and adoption of a fresh draft plan by the authority

If the authority decide under regulation 8 not to adopt the draft plan (with or without modifications), they must prepare and publish under this paragraph a fresh draft plan in place of that draft plan.

Regulations 5(1), 5(6), 6 and 7 are to apply in relation to a fresh draft plan published under paragraph (1) as they apply to draft plans, except that the summary of the conclusions of the draft plan given in the notice published under regulation 6 (as applied) must include, in the case of a fresh draft plan, a brief statement of how those conclusions differ from those given in the notice published under that regulation in respect of the draft plan which the fresh draft plan replaces, and the notice must state the effect of regulations 7, 9(4), 10 and 11 (instead of the effect of regulations 7 to 11).

Where a fresh draft plan is required to be published under paragraph (1), it must be published within the period of three months after the expiration of the period within which any comments on the draft plan it replaces were required to be submitted in accordance with regulation 7(2).

Following the publication of a fresh draft plan under this regulation and the expiration of the period referred to in regulation 7(2) (as applied by paragraph (1)) for submitting comments on the fresh draft plan, the authority must, within the period of two months after the expiration of that period, adopt the fresh draft plan (with or without modifications) and such adoption is to take effect on the date of adoption.
