Neighbourhood planning

Neighbourhood planning is a community-led process where local residents, businesses, and organizations work together to shape the future development of their area. They create a plan that sets out priorities for land use, housing, amenities, and infrastructure, ensuring growth aligns with local needs and preferences. This plan becomes part of the formal planning system, influencing decisions made by local authorities. Essentially, it empowers communities to have a say in how their neighborhood evolves, fostering more responsive and sustainable development that reflects residents' values and aspirations.
