What is a Neighbourhood Plan?

• A Neighbourhood plan gives our community a say in the development and growth of our local area.
• It allows us to set out what is important for us in our Parish.
• It gives us a way to influence new developments, while protecting and enhancing what is already here.
• For more detailed information about Neighbourhood Planning, click here to go to the gov.uk Neighbourhood Planning website.

Why now?

• Dordon Parish Council objected strongly to the large-scale development proposed for this area.
• However we realised that if it did go ahead, we wanted to have as much say as possible.
• Over the last two years, our Neighbourhood Plan team have been working with experts to produce a plan which would meet Dordon's needs.
• Dordon is a large parish, including: the hamlet of Freasley, a large industrial development south of the A5, and also the proposed site for 2,000+ houses - so the plan needs to address the future of the WHOLE parish.

How far have we got?

• We have carried out two paper consultations, as well as two online surveys, to find out what is important for the people of Dordon.
• We have taken your views onboard, and have worked closely with planning experts to produce a comprehensive Neighbourhood Plan.
• The plan should be ready for publication within a month, in time to influence any large-scale developments that may go ahead.
• Once the plan is published, there will be a referendum where everyone living in the parish will be able to vote on whether the plan is adopted.

Many thanks to the children of Dordon Primary School, who have provided us with lots of lovely artwork for our neighbourhood plan!
