Steering Group Objectives
The main objective of the Steering Group is to produce a sound Neighbourhood Plan for Newborough and Borough Fen. This Plan should define the policy priorities identified by the community taking into account all representations made during the plan-making process. It also must have regard for all relevant existing plans and evidence.
The Plan will include or be supported by an
appropriate delivery plan setting out, where
relevant, the means by which these policy priorities may be implemented.
The Steering Group, with the authority of the Parish Council and the technical support of the appointed Planning Consultant, is responsible for developing a sound Plan based on technical reports, local and national planning policy and community opinion.
