Neighbourhood planning advice
Neighbourhood planning allows your local community to help shape the development and growth of your area.
If considering producing a Neighbourhood Plan, you should approach your local borough, city, or district council for help and guidance on how to go about this.
As a key provider of services and infrastructure, we have produced a wide range of guidance documents that can help when preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. These are used by local authorities and have been adopted as policy by some.
View our Neighbourhood Planning Guide (PDF, 307KB), which covers our service areas. This contains:
- details of which of our services may need to be considered when carrying out neighbourhood planning
- links to policy guidance
- advice on how to engage with us
