The Council wants to make sure that all sections of the community have the chance to be actively involved in preparing the new plan. Planning can affect everyone’s day to day lives, whether it’s your neighbour wanting to build an extension, a proposal for a new supermarket, new flats or offices, or the provision of a skate park in one of our recreation grounds. It is important to comment on where new development should go, which areas should be protected and what standards should be applied. Our communities, groups and societies should have the chance to be actively involved in developing policies and proposals for the district.
