Neighbourhood Development Orders

Neighbourhood Development Orders (NDOs) are planning tools that enable local communities to shape how their neighborhoods grow and change. They allow residents, businesses, and organizations to approve specific development projects or changes within their area without the need for full planning permission from the local authority. This streamlines local development, empowering communities to support projects they want, such as new housing, shops, or community spaces. NDOs are designed to facilitate community-led growth while ensuring developments align with local needs and priorities.
