Neighbourhood Planning guidance

There are three types of neighbourhood planning your community may wish to do:

• Neighbourhood Plan - establish your vision and general planning policies and proposals for the future development and use of different plots of land in your local community area.
  • a neighbourhood plan will form part of the borough's statutory local development plan against which all planning applications and development proposals will be decided.
  • a neighbourhood plan could include neighbourhood development orders and community right to build orders.
• Neighbourhood Development Order - allows you to grant planning permission for certain types of development that you want to see go ahead in your community area.
• Community Right to Build Order - allows you to grant planning permission for the local community to build small-scale housing developments, community facilities or shops.
