We want to hear from you, please give your views on any of the policies in the draft Plan and any other comments you would like to make.

After all comments have been received and analysed and the draft plan amended. The Parish will be asked to vote in a referendum to accept or reject the Neighbourhood plan. If successful at referendum, the Whissendine Neighbourhood Plan will become part of the statutory development plan for the area. This statutory status gives neighbourhood plans far more weight than some other local documents, such as parish plans, community plans and village design statements.
