Update on progress with the Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group arranged an informal community consultation on emerging policy ideas for the neighbourhood plan during January 2024. We are grateful to those residents who attended our consultation events and shared their valuable feedback on the ideas which had emerged from our previous evidence collection and consultations. The responses have been collated and these will inform future activities. At the moment the Steering Group is reviewing the Neighbourhood Plan timetable in the light of this feedback and the complexity of the wider planning and consultation activities which are due to take place in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford during 2024. Although delay would be regrettable it is important to sychronise the development of the neighbourhood plan with any policies emerging from the New City Plan and the outcome of consultations on the projects within the Town Deal Investment Plan. It is better to be sure about the wider policy landscape before we produce a draft plan for Regulation 14 consultation. Once decisions have been made about the timetable and future informal consultations this page will be updated.
Meanwhile the Steering Group is continuing its activities and working with AECOM on a technical housing needs assessment to inform the plan as well as a strategic environmental assessment and potential for design codes.
