A: A Neighbourhood Plan is a community-led framework designed to guide the future development, regeneration, and conservation of an area. At Adisham, we emphasise the importance of these plans as they allow local residents to have a significant say in how their community evolves. Created by the local community, the plan can address various issues such as the location of new homes, shops, and offices, the protection of green spaces, and the overall design of future developments. This ensures that any growth or changes reflect the priorities and needs of Adisham residents. By engaging in the Neighbourhood Plan process, we help keep our community informed and involved, promoting a sense of ownership and collaboration.

A: The Neighbourhood Plan process at Adisham Neighbourhoo is a community-driven initiative aimed at shaping the future development of the Adisham area. It allows residents and local businesses to have a direct say in land use, housing, transport, and services in the neighborhood. The process involves several key steps:

1. Establishing a Steering Group: This group, comprised of volunteers from the community, spearheads the planning process.

2. Consultation and Engagement: Efforts are made to engage with the wider community through surveys, public meetings, and workshops to gather input and ideas. 3. Drafting the Plan: Using the gathered feedback, a detailed Neighbourhood Plan is drafted, outlining policies and proposals for the area's development.

4. Review and Refinement: The draft plan is reviewed and refined based on further community input and expert advice.

5. Formal Submission and Examination: The final plan is submitted to the local planning authority and examined by an independent inspector to ensure it meets legal requirements.

6. Community Referendum: The final step involves a local referendum where residents vote on whether to adopt the plan. If approved, the Adisham Neighbourhood Plan becomes a legally binding document that guides future development decisions, ensuring they align with the community's vision and needs. This process empowers the Adisham community, promoting sustainable growth and enhancing the quality of life for all residents.
