Consult on your neighbourhood plan
Consult on a neighbourhood plan
Before you submit a neighbourhood plan proposal to us, you need to publicise it.
Your proposal must be available to anyone who lives or works in the area for a minimum six weeks so that people have an opportunity to comment.
How to publicise your proposal
There are different ways of telling your community about your proposal such as:
- putting your plan on your neighbourhood forum website
- publicising it in local libraries
- hosting a consultation event
- leafleting local homes and businesses
You need to include details about:
- what your neighbourhood plan proposals are
- where and when people can see the proposals
- how people can comment
- deadline for any comments
Who to consult
Neighbourhood plans affect everyone living and working locally so you need to consult as many people as possible including groups like:
- community groups and societies
- faith groups
- disabled groups
- local businesses
- young people
- older people
- voluntary groups
You could also consult other bodies if their interests could be affected by your neighbourhood plan. These might be:
- Mayor of London
- The Homes and Communities Agency
- Natural England
- The Environment Agency
- English Heritage
- Network Rail Infrastructure Limited
- The Highways Agency
You also need to send a copy of your neighbourhood plan proposal to:
