£23 MILLION TO GET MORE NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANS ACROSS ENGLAND

South Sheffield

On the 31^st October 2014 ministers announced £23 million new funding to encourage more communities across England to get involved in neighbourhood planning, allowing local people to put forward and vote on their proposals for the type of development in their area, and where it should go.

Local people can draw up ‘neighbourhood plans’ that can be used in determining planning applications, and ‘neighbourhood development orders’ that grant planning permission, and vote them into force in a referendum.
