Neighbourhood Planning

Regeneration Positive is supporting a number of Parish Councils to develop a Neighbourhood Plan to help influence the future use of land and buildings in their area. A partnership approach, in areas like visioning, community consultation, research, evidence gathering and action planning, helps maximise outputs in line with the resource available to the Parish Council. Once adopted, Neighbourhood Plans become a formal part of the planning policy for the area, alongside Bedford Borough Council’s Local Plan and associated Development Plan documents.
