Neighbourhood planning is a key component of the Government's Localism Act, introducing a new tier of planning. The Localism Act devolves greater powers to councils and neighbourhoods, giving local people new rights to shape the development of the communities in which they live by taking a more active role in the development of planning policy at a local level.

Alderminster Neighbourhood Plan is a step closer to being put together after Stratford-on-Avon District Council received an application for the designation of a Neighbourhood Area; the first stage in the process.

Alderminster Parish Council has submitted an application for the civil parish of Alderminster.  Members of the public are being asked to make their comments before Stratford-on-Avon District Council makes a decision on the application.

If the designation of the Neighbourhood Area is agreed; local people can then put together a Neighbourhood Plan, setting out how they would like the area to develop in the future.  Under the Localism Act, residents, businesses and parish and town councillors are all encouraged to get involved in creating the plan.

A copy of the application and a map can be viewed on the Council website at www.stratford.gov.uk/nplan or at Stratford-on-Avon District Council's offices, Elizabeth House, Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, and also at Stratford-upon-Avon Library during normal opening hours.

The consultation starts on Thursday 9 June 2016.

Representations on whether the civil parish of Alderminster is deemed an appropriate Neighbourhood Area may be made to the District Council by no later than 5pm on Friday 8 July 2016. Comments can be made either online, by emailing planning.policy@stratford-dc.gov.uk or by writing to Planning Policy, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Elizabeth House, Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6HX.
