Why are we doing a Neighbourhood Plan?
Developing a Neighbourhood Plan will give our parish community direct power to develop a shared vision for the parish and shape its development and growth in the coming years.
The new Neighbourhood Plan will update and build upon the old Parish Plan produced in 2007 but will have a greater impact. Neighbourhood Plans are planning policy documents that can be prepared by local communities. The law says that when a Neighbourhood Plan has been approved (by both the community and the local planning authority), it becomes official planning policy, and must be considered when planning application decisions are made in relation to the Parish. They are a very good way to give local communities a say in the way their area develops in the future.
Once in final form, the draft Plan will be shown to the Local Planning Authority to ensure it is compliant with national and local planning policy and then made available to everyone in the Parish for review and comment before it goes through the final regulatory processes.
See Neighbourhood plan documents for information from the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group.
