Neighbourhood Plan

Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area.  Decisions on planning applications will be made using both the Local Plan and the Neighbourhood Plan, and any other material considerations. A Steering Committee has been set up for the Grouped Parish Area to oversee the formation of a Neighbourhood Plan. The minutes of these meetings can be downloaded from this page. This is very much an inclusive process and needs members of the community to be actively involved.

LATEST NEWS

Referendum

The Referendum for the Neighbourhood Plan has been agreed for 8 August and voting will take place in Broadwindsor, Blackdown and Drimpton at each respective village hall, between 7.00 am and 10.00 pm.

If approved at the Referendum, the Neighbourhood Plan becomes a statutory part of the development plan for the area and will carry significant weight in how planning applications are decided. A number of hard copies of the Plan have been produced and will be made available at key community locations across the Grouped Parish area, such as the Community Shop. Eight hundred leaflets have also been printed and these will be hand delivered to every household. Please do go and vote!
