What is neighbourhood planning?

Neighbourhood planning 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. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to plan for the types of development to meet their community’s needs and where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.

Councillor Ivor Keyes, Chair of Appleby Parish Council, kindly spoke at the Full Council meeting held on 1 March 2021 concerning his experience forming a Neighbourhood Plan.The Town Council will continue to discuss forming a Committee, which has to be resident run, with the assistance of Local Authorities.
Notes on the talk by Cllr Keyes will be forthcoming.

Appleby Neighbourhood Plan Final 2015-2030

The application by Bottesford Town Council to be designated as a neighbourhood area has been approved by North Lincolnshire Council  

Designation of the neighbourhood area is the first stage in the neighbourhood planning process and will enable the Town Council to start preparing a plan with their local community.
