SUMMER 2024 UPDATE
The North Kingston Neighbourhood Forum Steering Committee is delighted to inform you that at our AGM in April, the membership attending unanimously agreed for the NKNPlan to be submitted to the local planning authority for the next stage in the neighbourhood planning process, the council run Regulation 16 consultation. The Steering Committee are currently in discussion with the council to ensure a smooth submission in early autumn. More about the NKNPlan can be viewed here. The need for the NKNPlan and the next steps towards the formal adoption of the NKNPlan is explained in the AGM presentation which can be viewed here.
Neighbourhood planning is a vital part of the Government's plans to help local communities play a much stronger role in the shaping of their area. For the first time, local people can create a plan that allows them to work with the council to develop planning policies that reflect the priorities of their area and have real legal weight. The whole community then decides at a referendum vote whether the local authority should bring the plan into force.
Over 3,000 communities in England have already begun neighbourhood planning and you can now join the North Kingston Neigbourhood Forum.
