Joint with neighbouring parish:

Please describe below why you considered the extent of the neighbourhood area is appropriate:* The town of Needham Market has a traditional and annually marked boundary, celebrated in a "beating the bounds" ceremony. The Boundary Review of 2009 reassessed this boundary. It defines the plan area which contains the Conservation Area, the Shopping frontages and the towns' boundary as defined in the District Council's Core Strategy. This core area also includes the Visually Important Open Spaces (VIOS) that provide protection for the amenity of the town's play and park lands. It will be appropriate to consider the possibility of development and any specific proposals for development within or abutting the line identified.

A focussed approach within the identified boundary will allow careful examination of the town's economic, transport, environmental and social issues while providing a clear understanding of the relationship with the surrounding villages,. The surrounding populations are closely related to the working and well being of the town of Needham Market and will become the subject of discussion through cross boundary discussion. The Town Council wishes to maintain the focus on its neighbourhood plan area but does not want this to stifle discussion between the Parishes whose life and activity is so closely shared with Needham Market.

6. Intention of Neighbourhood Area: Please indicate which of the following you intend to undertake within your neighbourhood area:* Neighbourhood Development Plan

Neighbourhood Development Order

Community Right to Build Order
