Harlestone Neighbourhood Plan
Following a majority vote in favour of the Harlestone Neighbourhood Development Plan at a referendum held on 20 April 2023, the plan is now "made" and forms part of the development plan. It will be used to determine planning applications in the Harlestone Neighbourhood Area alongside existing policy. More information is available here
Neighbourhood Plan Review Toolkit
The Council has produced a toolkit to assist neighbourhood plan groups with "made" plans to consider if a review is needed, the type of review required and the process involved. View our Guide to Neighbourhood Planning for more information.
Advice on consultation
Groups who are considering undertaking formal consultation on draft neighbourhood plans (Regulation 14) should consider how this can be undertaken in a way that will help combat the spread of coronavirus.
Groups should ensure that they are able to satisfy the Regulations to bring the consultation to the attention of people who live, work and carry on business in the neighbourhood area. This may involve the use of different or innovative methods.
Access the Government's guidance regarding neighbourhood plans
Any groups wishing to submit their plans for Regulation 16 consultation should contact the Council in advance to discuss timescales and how this will be undertaken in line with the latest Government guidance.
