East Suffolk Council
Have your say on the Aldringham cum Thorpe Neighbourhood Plan
Aldringham cum Thorpe Parish Council has submitted their Neighbourhood Plan to East Suffolk Council, ahead of it undergoing an independent examination and residents are invited to give their views.
East Suffolk Council is publicising the plan and inviting representations, which will be forwarded to the examiners for consideration alongside the plan. Subject to the plan successfully completing all the relevant regulatory stages, the policies and proposals contained in the plan will be used by East Suffolk Council in the determination of planning applications within the Aldringham cum Thorpe Neighbourhood Area.
Cllr Mark Packard, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for Planning and Coastal Management said: “Neighbourhood planning enables communities to influence planning proposals at a local level and helps residents get directly involved with shaping the future of their area. I would encourage those living in Aldringham cum Thorpe to view their Neighbourhood Plan and submit their comments for consideration.”
