[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Neighbourhood planning<\/strong> gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead.<\/p>\n

Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.<\/p>\n

Neighbourhood planning is not a legal requirement but a right which communities in England can choose to use. Communities may decide that they could achieve the outcomes they want to see through other planning routes, such as incorporating their proposals for the neighbourhood into the\u00a0Local Plan, or through other planning mechanisms such as\u00a0Local Development Orders\u00a0and\u00a0supplementary planning documents\u00a0or through pre-application consultation on development proposals.<\/p>\n
