Wennington Parish Council submits neighbourhood plan application

Wennington Parish Council has applied to Lancaster City Council for the designation of a neighbourhood plan area.

The city council is now consulting on the application for four weeks until Monday October 24, before making a decision. 

The application, draft designation map and supporting submission can be viewed on our neighbourhood planning pages.  
Neighbourhood planning gives communities the chance to decide where new development should be and what it should look like.  A plan might include new homes, shops and offices.

A neighbourhood plan must be in line with the council’s Local Plan and is subject to an independent examination and community referendum.
If approved, a neighbourhood plan forms part of the council’s Local Plan and it is used in helping to make decisions on planning applications in that area.
Comments on the application can be made to planningpolicy@lancaster.gov.uk or by post no later than 5pm on Monday 24 October 2016 to: Planning Policy Team, Lancaster City Council, Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PJ.

A copy of the application documents is available for inspection (9am to 5pm week days) at: 

•         Lancaster City Council, Dalton Square, Lancaster LA1 1PJ 
•         Morecambe Town Hall, Marine Road, Morecambe LA4 5AF
