Neighbourhood planning empowers communities to develop a shared vision for their area and shape the development and growth of their local area. We provide expert support to parish councils, neighbourhood forums, and community groups throughout the neighbourhood planning process.
Our team has extensive experience in helping communities create neighbourhood development plans that reflect local aspirations while conforming to strategic planning policies. We guide you through each stage, from designation to referendum.
We believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with communities to ensure their neighbourhood plan truly reflects local needs and aspirations whilst being robust enough to influence planning decisions.
