Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. It provides a powerful set of tools for local people to plan for the types of development to meet their community’s needs and has statutory weight when planning applications are considered. The Newent Neighbourhood Development Plan Steering Group is made up of a cross-section of volunteers (local residents and business people) and refers back to Newent Town Council as its responsible body.
The Neighbourhood Plan needs to include the views of businesses in the Parish in order to provide a balance of evidence. If you are involved in local business, the Steering Group invites you to share your expertise, experience and ideas by contributing to our Business Survey using the revised link https://shorturl.at/unb1p
