Neighbourhood Plan

Presenting the council's neighbourhood plan status and documents.

Over recent years the planning system has been significantly reformed.  A key change is the development of local or neighbourhood plans designed to reflect the views and wishes of the community.

Staunton-on-Wye group parishes developed their neighbourhood plan through a process including extensive consultation.  In April 2016 a referendum was held which approved the plan by a substantial majority (details can be found here).

The Neighbourhood Plan is an important document.  The local authority (Herefordshire) has to take account of the local plan in considering planning applications.  Staunton-on-Wye group parish council will use the plan to inform their responses to planning applications in the parish.

The plan will be reviewed after five years (ie by 2021), we expect to undertake consultations during the review, any feedback on issues that should be considered is welcomed.
