What is a Neighbourhood Plan?

A Neighbourhood Plan enables the local community to shape the future development of the Parish for the benefit of the local community.

The Woore Neighbourhood Plan is a statutory planning policy document, supported by a majority of the local population in a Referendum, and which enables Woore Parish Council to have a greater and more positive influence on how the Parish develops in the future.

The work is now complete - see opposite.

What we needed to do

For any plan to be considered viable and an accurate reflection of the community's wishes it is vital that residents actively participate in its creation. The Planning Group had to be made up of Parish residents and not just Parish Councillors.

Volunteers were required to form the Planning Group (this became the Neighbourhood Planning Team, whose web site this is) and give general support to the whole process. If we did not get enough support the plan could not have proceeded as it had to include members of the local community.

It is very simple; if there had not been enough volunteers we would have had no voice in the future development of our village.

The work is now complete, but this is what we did and successfully undertook the task of forming a suitably representative group.
