Neighbourhood Plan

As a council we are continually looking and at and assessing the current benefits of a Neighbourhood Plan, in the past couple of years the council has decided that the work required and financial outlay would not been beneficial. This policy is reviewed on a regular basis and with government regulations continually changing we will look to see if this is a path that we should investigate further for the good of the village.

Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to plan for the types of development to meet their community’s needs and where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.
