Once the council prepares the draft, it will go out for consultation with residents and local groups
Cllr Steve Clough has dedicated many, many hours in developing the neighbourhood plan, in the hope it will benefit Killamarsh for many years to come. If you have any questions please contact Killamarsh Parish Council and the office will send your question to the person most qualified to answer your query.
What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
A Neighbourhood Plan lets communities shape local development and growth. It empowers residents, parish councils, and forums to influence planning decisions. These plans support the government’s goal to devolve power to local people under the Localism Act 2011.
Key purposes include:
Guiding development: It defines where new homes, businesses, and other projects should go, and how they should look. This covers green spaces, housing density, and heritage protection.
Local influence: The plan reflects local aspirations and aligns with national policies. After local approval, it becomes part of the statutory development plan and shapes planning decisions.
Sustainable growth: The plan guides change sustainably, balancing development with community needs and environmental protection.
Overall, neighbourhood plans let local people influence land use and planning for their area.
