Neighbourhood development plans (NDPs)

Extra resources for neighbourhood plan groups and parish councils will be made available on this webpage as and when available.

The council highly recommend looking at the central government's advice on neighbourhood planning, 'Locality's Roadmap Guide', and the Leicestershire County Council Neighbourhood Planning website:

• National Planning Practice Guidance: Neighbourhood Planning  (GOV.UK)
• Locality's 'How to create a Neighbourhood Plan: Your step-by-step roadmap guide' (neighbourhoodplanning.org)
• Leicestershire County Council - Leicestershire Communities, Neighbourhood Planning  (leicestershirecommunities.org.uk)

Guidance documents

• Neighbourhood planning flowchart (PDF)

This flowchart gives an overview of the various stages of the neighbourhood planning process, and what groups should consider when progressing through the phases.

• A guide to locality's technical support packages (PDF)

This guide gives details of the support packages from central government which groups can apply for during the preparation of the neighbourhood plan.
