We have a wealth of knowledge and experience in neighbourhood planning. We offer the following free support:
- Provide advice and help with your neighbourhood plan from reviewing drafts, advising on content to evidence requirements
- Confirm which national and Cornwall policies are important and help with drafting policy text
- Share data, evidence and resolve issues
- Provide support, such as help in laying out and illustrating a plan
- Help with mapping from the local area, the site allocations to local green space allocations
- Check the neighbourhood plan before formal submission. (For example, by Development Officers and the Policy Team). We also screen it to see if it requires Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA)
- Provide advice on who you need to consult to help the draft plan meet the basic conditions (tests, including whether they have been consulted on and have evidence)
- Provide advice on the legal requirements for neighbourhood planning. Check that your neighbourhood plan meets the statutory requirements
- We carry out a further Regulation 16 public consultation
- Organise the examination
- Hold the neighbourhood planning referendum
