an independent examiner is a legal requirement of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990 as amended by Localism Act 2011 once a neighbourhood plan has been
submitted to the Council.
Alternative

There are no
alternative options to the appointment of an examiner, as the appointment of an

jointly with the neighbourhood qualifying body.
