High Lane Neighbourhood Forum

Overview

About the High Lane Village Forum

High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forumm is a non-political group of members run entirely by volunteers and open to all residents of High Lane Village Neighbourhood Area, along with those who work in the area (both for businesses or voluntary organisations) and representatives of local organisations as approved by the forum management committee, the latter being affiliate and non-voting members. Ward councillors who represent the neighbourhood forum area are also eligible to be members of the forum.

The forum was established in 2017 with the primary purpose of preparing a neighbourhood plan in partnership with Stockport MBC and other local stakeholders.

Neighbourhood Plans

Neighbourhood plans are a powerful set of tools for local communities to influence future development in their local area by establishing a set of policies to be used in making decisions on planning applications.

In addition, its other primary purpose is to promote and improve the social, economic and other aspects of the environmental well-being of the residents of the specified area.

Why your views matter

High Lane Village Neighbourhood Forum was designated on 14 September 2017 as the body responsible for preparing a neighbourhood plan for High Lane Village. After 5 years, a forum must be re-designated in order to continue its role. In accordance with The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Stockport Council is consulting on the re-designation of the Forum.
