Neighbourhood planning guidance
How neighbourhood planning works
Neighbourhood planning is undertaken by local community groups, not the Council, although we are happy to provide guidance and technical assistance.
For more information on developing neighbourhood planning further in your community, see our 5 steps guide to neighbourhood planning.
For more details also see: Neighbourhood Planning FAQs (PDF, 319 KB)
The government has also funded the following independent organisations to help advise and support you, and to provide some financial assistance to local communities interested in doing neighbourhood planning:
- Locality (The Building Community Consortium)
- Planning Aid (part of the Royal Town Planning Institute)
