AND DEANE BOROUGH COUNCIL Publication of the Overton Neighbourhood Plan

The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (Regulation 16)

Overton Parish Council as the qualifying body has prepared a neighbourhood development plan, entitled Overton Neighbourhood Development Plan August 2015, for their parish with the help of the local community. The neighbourhood plan sets out a vision for the future of the parish and planning policies which will be used to determine planning applications locally.
