What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
Neighbourhood planning was introduced in the Localism Act 2011. It is an important and powerful tool that gives communities statutory powers to shape how their communities develop.
In very simple terms, a neighbourhood plan is:
A document that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area - planning policies are used to decide whether to approve planning applications
Written by the local community, the people who know and love the area, rather than the local planning authority
About the Neighbourhood Plan
The Barrow-cum-Denham Neighbourhood Plan area covers the settlements of Barrow, Burthorpe and Denham and the rural hinterland around these settlements.
This Plan has been prepared by Barrow-cum-Denham Parish Council, for the community to help protect the local identity of the area and community values. The Plan sets out a clear pathway into the future to strengthen and secure the long-term integrity of the Neighbourhood Plan Area.
