The future of neighbourhood plans

Rediscover the passion for launching and shaping a neighbourhood plan in your area.

Despite the government dragging its feet on supporting funding for neighbourhood planning, the confirmation eventually came through, solidifying its commitment to neighbourhood planning. In this area, parish and town councils shine.

This event aims to re-evaluate the continued significance of neighbourhood planning and make a case for its sustenance in the upcoming parliament, regardless of the government's composition. The focus is bridging the interest gap between developers, parish and town councils, and local planning authorities.
