Neighbourhood Plan/WPP Plan
The Town Council produced a Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out the type of future growth the town needs.
It includes policies to support new workspace and jobs, the green spaces that need protecting, a project to improve the town centre environment and many others.
The Plan was 'Made' i.e. became a formal part of our local planning system in 2018, following consultation, a Referendum and an Inspectors Report. It has since been used by Planning Officers to determine Planning Applications.
You can view the Plan using the link below. Or you see how the Plan was produced using the links on the left.
