Community Consultation 29th June - 10th August 2026
We need your input
1. Read the Draft Plan, supporting evidence and Reports [links in the buttons below].
2. Attend the drop-in session at the Village Hall to ask questions or view a printed copy of the Plan. Saturday 18th July, 10am - 12pm.
3. Share your views by completing the online survey [before 10th August]. The link is on the Draft Plan Page.
After the Consultation
Residents' comments will be considered in line with National Policy and other resident feedback and accommodated where possible within the final Plan. Alongside this, other stakeholders will also review the Draft Plan.
Once the Draft has been finalised, it will be formally submitted to the Local Authority.
The Local Authority follows a formal procedure, which includes a community referendum - where residents vote for the Plan to be adopted, before the Final Plan is accepted.
Information will continue to be made available on this website, on the Facebook Group page and the Parish Council website.

Why do we need a Neighbourhood Plan?
Residents' Control & Influence
A Neighbourhood Plan gives residents the opportunity to have a say in how the nieghbourhood develops, ensuring future development aligns with community needs and aspirations.
Planning & Development Guidance
The Plan sets out policies on multiple aspects including housing, infrastructure, green spaces, transportation and more. It can influence the type, design and location of developments promoting sustainable growth while protecting valued aspects of the village.
Legal Weight
Once adopted, a Neighbourhood Plan becomes legally binding. Local planning authorities must consider the Plan when making decisions. This carries more weight than other community-led initiatives.
