Neighbourhood Plan

A Steering Group has been set up to examine the desirability of and the processes involved in a Neighbourhood Plan for North Muskham.

 

·       What it is

A neighbourhood plan is a set of policies that communities create to guide the development of their area. 

·       What it does

A neighbourhood plan can help communities decide where new homes, shops, and businesses should be built, and what they should look like. It can also help protect green spaces and determine what infrastructure is needed. 

·       How it works

A neighbourhood plan becomes part of the statutory Development Plan if it passes examination and a referendum. This means that the plan must be considered when assessing planning applications for new development in the area. 

·       How it's created

The process of creating a neighbourhood plan involves several stages, including forming a steering group, gathering community input, and preparing a draft plan. 

·       Who creates it

Town or parish councils are usually responsible for creating a neighbourhood plan, with help from community volunteers. 

Volunteers 

Whilst all villagers will be consulted regarding a plan and what it should involve for North Muskham we are currently asking if anyone else would like to be part of the Steering Group itself. This would involve a number of meetings, correspondence, and general commitment.
