Neighbourhood development plans
Villages and parishes throughout the Borough all have the opportunity to create their own Neighbourhood Development Plans (NDP). These plans when made become legal planning documents which shape future planning applications and developments.
By getting involved, the community can provide guidance on where development such as new homes and businesses can be built and what they should look like, as long as it is in accordance with strategic policies in the Local Plan.
