Neighbourhood planning

The Localism Act received Royal Ascent in November 2011, and introduces some fundamental changes to the planning system, including the creation of neighbourhood planning. This will give local communities the opportunity to draw up their own plans for shaping the future of their areas, so long as they comply with national and strategic policies.

Below, you will find information about the new system as well as external links to further information.

Daws Hill Residents Association: application to designate a neighbourhood area and neighbourhood forum

Daws Hill Residents Association have made an application to be designated as a neighbourhood forum, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012. They have also applied to designate a neighbourhood area. If a designation is made, no other organisation or body may be designated for that neighbourhood area until that designation expires or is withdrawn.

We are consulting with residents and other interested stakeholders on both the neighbourhood forum and neighbourhood area applications until 29 June 2012. Find out more about neighbourhood area and forum applications.
