Who are the examiners?
Independent examiners have to be suitably qualified and experienced professionals. Most will be chartered town planners, but examiners also include planning lawyers, architects and surveyors and other related professionals. Often examiners will have worked in the public, private or academic sectors and have a wide range of experience. They must be independent: this means that they cannot have an interest in any land that may be affected by the neighbourhood plan or other conflicts of interest.
