Neighbourhood Planning
Residents can help shape the development and growth of their local area through the production of a Neighbourhood Development Plan, neighbourhood Development Order or Community Right to Build Order.
Neighbourhood Development Plans will become part of the local statutory development plan and will form the basis for determining planning applications in that area.
A Neighbourhood Development Order enables the community to grant planning permission for the development it wishes to see. To help you we have created a Neighbourhood Development Order FAQ (PDF, 41 KB)(opens new window) document to help answer any questions you may have.
