Neighbourhood Planning
Neighbourhood Planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to plan for the types of development to meet their community’s needs and where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.
The 'related pages' menu on the right hand side provides more information on Neighbourhood Planning matters, such as:
- The toolkit page, which includes templates, guidance and key resources
- The support page, request support to help prepare your NDP
- The completed plans page, view a list of all of our formally made NDPs
- An A-Z list of individual pages for all of our currently active NDPs

Consultations and referendums
- Legislation requires that NDPs are subject to at least two formal, public, six-week long consultations. The qualifying body - the group preparing the plan, hosts the first consultation, which falls under Regulation 14. After the Regulation 14 consultation, the qualifying body have the opportunity to make any changes to their plan before submitting to us. Once submitted, we will host the second consultation on the plan, which falls under Regulation 16. To view our present NDP consultations, please visit our consultation portal.
- To view our past and present NDP referendums, please visit our referendums page. Also, please visit our toolkit page to view our referendum guide for campaigners and councillors.
