East Suffolk Council
What should be considered when preparing a plan?
The most important thing about producing a Neighbourhood Plan is the initial and ongoing consultation and engagement with residents, businesses, landowners and local groups in the area covered by the Neighbourhood Plan.
A Neighbourhood Plan must also consider existing planning policy:
District Council's local development plan
A Neighbourhood Plan must be generally aligned to the strategic policies set out in the Local Plan.
National planning policy
A Neighbourhood Plan must also take into account national planning policy.
