Representations are invited on the Lowestoft Neighbourhood Plan between 23 April and 5pm on 4 June 2025.

Representations are invited on the Aldringham cum Thorpe Neighbourhood Plan between 7 May and 18 June 2025.

Neighbourhood planning is a Government initiative that enables local communities to influence and take forward planning proposals at a local level. Plans can help determine the location of new development, provide guidance for what new buildings should look like and grant planning permission for particular types of development.
