Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan for the designated neighbourhood area of Great Staughton Parish will be subject to a referendum to be held on September 4th. The Parish Council is recommending a YES vote for the following reasons
Once a Neighbourhood Plan has been adopted for a village, it provides several potential advantages.
· It defines the extent and where the Parish would like to see development take place.
· The introduction of some controlled development supports local services such as the school, shop, pubs and clubs.
· It adds more protection to the heritage aspects of the village.
· It provides more protection to the environment and ecology surrounding the village
· The Parish Council receives a higher level of grant allocation under certain circumstances.
​The final version of the plan and associated documents can be found here.
Paper copies are available in the village hall, doctor’s surgery and other locations.
