Neighbourhood Plan Applications continue to roll in

Lancaster City Council has received a sixth neighbourhood plan application from Morecambe Town Council.

Neighbourhood planning gives communities the chance to decide where new development should be and what it should look like. For example, new homes, shops and offices. A plan must be in line with the District’s Local Plan and is subject to an independent examination and community referendum. If approved, a neighbourhood plan forms part of the district’s Local Plan and it is used in helping to make decisions on planning applications.

The council will consult on this for 4 weeks until Monday March 14 2016 before making a decision.

The application can be viewed at www.lancaster.gov.uk/planningpolicy in Morecambe Town Hall (9am to 5pm weekdays only) or by contacting the Clerk of Morecambe Town Council (David Croxall) by telephone (01524) 422929 or email clerk@morecambe.gov.uk  

Comments should be sent by email to planningpolicy@lancaster.gov.uk or in writing to Planning Policy Team, Lancaster City Council, Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PJ by Monday March 14 2016.
