Neighbourhood Plans
Neighbourhood Planning is a process that is designed to enable the local community to influence the planning and development of their area by helping to decide:
- The most appropriate places for new homes, shops, offices, leisure facilities and other developments to be located;
- What type of development is needed and what it should look like;
- What important green spaces and other areas should be protected;
- What improvements or additions to local facilities and services will be required alongside any developments.
The contents of a Neighbourhood Plan cannot conflict with the Local Planning Authority’s Local Development Plan. For Ashby de la Zouch this is North West Leicestershire’s Local Plan. Details of the North West Leicestershire Local Plan can be found on their website.
To enable people of Ashby and Blackfordby to influence planning and development in their town/ village two Neighbourhood Plans are planned.
