Neighbourhood Planning
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Localism Act 2011 gives local communities the ability to prepare Neighbourhood Plans. Refer to detailed national guidance for more information. http://www.gov.uk/guidance/neighbourhood-planning--2
Neighbourhood Plans can be prepared by the local town or parish council or by a Neighbourhood Plan Forum within non-parished areas. They allow local people to set out future changes in their area by creating policies to help influence local factors including the right type of development for their community, whilst meeting the needs of the wider area.
A number of Parishes across Colchester Borough are taking the opportunity to prepare Neighbourhood Plans. Adopted Plans are already in place for Boxted and Myland & Braiswick. Plans are also currently being prepared for, Eight Ash Green, Great Tey, Marks Tey, Tiptree, West Bergholt, Wivenhoe and West Mersea. Areas have also been designated for Copford with Easthorpe and Stanway with the parishes considering progressing Plans for these areas.
