Neighbourhood plan bid by the parish council

Gamlingay Parish Council has applied to South Cambs District Council to designate the village as a ‘Neighbourhood Area’, which will mean it can go on to prepare a neighbourhood plan.

A neighbourhood plan is an initiative giving communities power to prepare a planning document that includes a shared vision for their neighbourhood. They can set out policies on the development and use of land and have weight in deciding planning applications.

The district council’s consultation is calling on people to give their views on the parish council’s proposed Neighbourhood Area

The consultation closes at 5pm on Friday, November 14.
