Part FORM 8: EXISTING POLICY STATEMENT

The proposals for [the [alteration] [replacement] of] the above plan, made available for inspection by (1) at (2), include policies which were, in the opinion of the authority, previously contained in a local plan for the area (“existing policies”). A list of the policies contained in the proposals which have been identified by the authority as existing policies is set out below.

[Objections may be made to these policies at the same time and in the same manner as objections may be made to the other policies in the proposals.] [The period for objecting to the above proposals set out in the notice of deposit first published locally on (3) is extended and such objections, including objections to policies identified as existing policies, should be sent in writing to (4) before (5).] However, the person holding any local inquiry or other hearing need not allow a person who objects to a policy which has been identified as an existing policy to appear at the local inquiry or other hearing if he is satisfied that the policy so identified is an existing policy and that there has been no significant change in circumstances affecting the existing policy since it first formed part of the local plan.
