What is the Werrington Neighbourhood Plan?
The Plan will form part of the planning framework for how Werrington can develop in the future and will sit alongside the City Council’s planning policies the future. It has been drawn up by residents following feedback from consultations, questionnaires and input and contains policies and proposals to protect Werrington’s unique characteristics, locally important views, biodiversity areas and green spaces. It also sets how buildings should be designed to be in keeping with the character of the area and supports the delivery of priorities such as climate change initiatives. It is supported by the evidence files which can also be seen alongside the Plan below
JULY 2024 UPDATE:
After the recent Public Consultation, the Plan has been reviewed and updated. The Plan and its Evidence Files has now been formally submitted to Peterborough City Council. These documents can be seen below
What happens next?
The Werrington Neighbourhood Plan will be subject to a City Council Consultation and an examination by an independent reviewer followed by a resident’s referendum. If supported by a majority of voters, it becomes part of the Council’s Local Plan and forms part of the rules which guide the local authority when it has to decide on planning applications in this area.
A successful Werrington Neighbourhood Plan will have legal status and carry real weight in decision-making so it’s important that you keep taking the opportunity to take part in the process.
