How to have your say on plans currently in development

In the process of neighbourhood planning, there are a number of different points where consultation is required which allows people to have their say on development. These include:

• designating a neighbourhood area (minimum six weeks in circumstances where a consultation is required)
• designating a neighbourhood forum
• pre-Submission draft neighbourhood plan or order consultation (minimum six weeks/qualifying body)
• neighbourhood plan or order submission (minimum six weeks)
• referendum

You can find out whether a plan or order is under consultation or has already been 'made' in your area on the Neighbourhood planning - what's happening? page.
