East Suffolk Council
Have your say on the Ufford Neighbourhood Plan
Local residents are invited to comment on the Ufford Neighbourhood Plan, ahead of it being submitted for independent examination.
Ufford Parish Council have submitted their Neighbourhood Plan to East Suffolk Council to be publicised and to invite comments from Ufford residents. These comments will be sent to the examiner 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 Ufford Neighbourhood Area.
Cllr Stephen Molyneux, East Suffolk’s deputy cabinet member for Planning and Coastal Management said: “Neighbourhood planning gives residents the opportunity to get directly involved in shaping their local area, determining the location of any new development, and providing guidance for how new buildings should look and perform. I would encourage Ufford residents to take part in the consultation and submit their views on the Neighbourhood Plan.
The consultation will run for 8 weeks between 20 November 2024 and 15 January 2025.
