High Lane Village Neighbourhood Development Plan

Overview

Neighbourhood planning was introduced with the Localism Act 2011. Since then communities across the country have taken up the opportunity to prepare Neighbourhood Plans. These plans enable communities to put in place a vision and policies for future local Development.

High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forum will be the second body within the Borough of Stockport to submit a proposed plan on behalf of a Community.

Written by the High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forum, this document seeks public views on development policies that the group have proposed for their local area.

Why your views matter

Under the Localism Act 2011 and in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations, Stockport Council will conduct the formal consultation on behalf of the High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forum.

Views and proposed policies contained within the document are those of the High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forum and not those of Stockport Council. Comments are welcome, both from the local community and wider area.
