The Long Melford Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan will become a Statutory Document that will form part of the Babergh Local Plan. It has been in development since 2017, following a series of consultations and a major survey of the local populace. The survey established a number of issues that parishioners felt were important, and helped to develop policies and projects to address them.
Statutory Neighbourhood Plan consultations took place during 2019 and 2021. A draft Plan has been created which, following agreement by the Parish Council, has been submitted to Babergh District Council. If it is found to meet with the relevant requirements, the District Council will organise a referendum of the parish electorate, at which point they can vote to either accept or reject the Plan.
