Church Knowle Neighbourhood Plan-online survey
Neighbourhood Plan
Neighbourhood planning enables us to have a say in the future of the area where we live. Thanks to the Localism Act 2011, our Parish Council has the power to produce a plan with real legal weight that directs development in the local area. It allows us to:
- Choose what development we want to take place, and where;
- have our say on what new buildings should look like; and
- protect the countryside and our heritage buildings from development.
The government has put aside money for local communities in the form of grants to be used to create a neighbourhood plan. Church Knowle Parish has been awarded such a grant, so now the process begins.
The Neighbourhood Planning Process

Church Knowle Neighbourhood Plan Scoping Document
Prior to obtaining the full grant for the Neighbourhood Plan a partial grant was obtained and used to produce a Scoping Study on which the full Neighbourhood Plan could be based.
National Planning Policy Framework
The National Planning Policy Framework was revised on 20 July 2021 and sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied.
