Strumpshaw Neighbourhood Plan​

Neighbourhood Plans were introduced by the Localism Act 2011. They enable communities to have a say about the development and growth of their local area by introducing local planning policies which (if the Neighbourhood Plan is successful at examination and referendum) form part of the statutory Development Plan. This means the Neighbourhood Plan must to be taken into account when assessing planning applications for new development in that area.

Review of Strumpshaw’s Neighbourhood Plan

The current plan, adopted in 2014, covers the period up to 2026 and forms part of the development plan for the district. It is one of the main considerations in determining any future planning applications submitted in Strumpshawnd the Parish Council secured central and local government grants to cover the costs associated with completing the Neighbourhood Plan review. . ​​

A Steering Group, formed to review and update the Neighbourhood Plan for the next 15-20 years, is providing regular updates to the Parish Council.

The Steering Group Terms of Reference below in the Documents Listing

On the back of our first public consultation in March 2024, the Steering Group has made significant progress across a number of key areas of the revised plan.  These include the development of a Housing Needs Assessment, a Design Code and a first draft of policies that will form the basis of the Neighbourhood Plan.
