Neighbourhood Plans

Neighbourhood Plans are local planning tools that allow communities to have a say in how their area develops. Created by local residents, these plans outline strategies for land use, housing, and public spaces, guiding decisions on development and infrastructure. They are part of the broader planning system in the UK, enabling communities to influence where new homes, shops, and facilities should go. Once approved, they become legally binding, ensuring that local priorities are considered in planning decisions, fostering community involvement and aiming to create a better living environment.
