Hampton-in-Arden Neighbourhood Plan Pre-Submission Draft

The Hampton-in-Arden Pre-Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan was subject to public consultation between 1 February 2023 and 22 March 2023. This consultation was undertaken by the Parish Council according to Regulation 14 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations (General) 2012.

Responses received to this consultation were considered by the Parish Council and used to inform the next stage of the process.  

New Neighbourhood Area designation for Hampton-in-Arden

Following an application from Hampton-in-Arden Parish Council, a new Neighbourhood Area has been designated. This amends the current Neighbourhood Area to reflect the administrative boundary change that came into effect on 1 April 2019 and will allow the Parish Council to update their Neighbourhood Plan.

For the avoidance of doubt, until a new Neighbourhood Plan is ‘made’, the existing Plan policies will continue to apply to the area that was covered by the previous Neighbourhood Area.
