This scheme is however very out of date and following further changes to the planning system in 2008 a proposed new scheme was submitted to Government in April 2009, following approval by the County Council at the meeting of the Cabinet on 1 April 2009.  On 20 May 2009 the Secretary of State responded by issuing a holding direction allowing more time to consider the document.

The proposed new scheme can be viewed below:
