What is neighbourhood planning?
Neighbourhood planning was introduced under the Localism Act, and aims to help local communities to play a direct role in planning their local area.
The plans can set out how the community would like land to be used and developed in the area it covers, and to set other local planning policies.
When the plan has been submitted to Herefordshire Council and has gone through due process, a referendum must be held asking the local electorate whether or not they support the plan.
