Neighbourhood Plan
At a virtual meeting of Sandy Town Council on 28 September 2020 members agreed to start the process of developing a Neighbourhood Plan and agreed to the establishment of a Steering Group, to be made up of Councillors, residents and businesses of the town.
What is a Neighbourhood Plan?
A neighbourhood plan is a document created by local people that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area. Those planning policies are then used by the local planning authority to decide whether to approve planning applications for the neighbourhood area.
Public Consultation
In accordance with the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations (Regulation 14), the Draft Neighbourhood Plan is out to formal consultation for a period of six-weeks from 26th August 2024 to 7th October 2024.
Following revision to reflect consultation responses, the Neighbourhood Plan will then be submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) in late October 2024. An examination of the plan will then be undertaken by CBC followed by a local referendum. The referendum will be hosted by CBC and is likely to take place in mid-Summer 2025.
In the meantime, it is important that as many people and organisations as possible comment on the draft plan during this consultation period. Your comments are, therefore, invited.
