The draft Buckinghamshire Local Plan has now been published for consultation with a deadline for responses on 29 October... But, and this is a big but, you have to join some dots to obtain a clear view on what it all means for your town or parish. And as the Council has decided it will head straight to the final pre-submission stage next year this is the main opportunity to make your positions known.

We are delighted to announce that The Farnhams Neighbourhood Plan has passed its referendum, following a resounding 92% ‘yes’ vote. This marks a significant milestone for the community, ensuring that future development in Farnham Royal and Farnham Common will be shaped by local priorities and aspirations. The Plan has been the result of close collaboration between the Parish Council, a dedicated steering group of local residents, and the team at ONH.

ONH have travelled the country throughout June delivering interactive Q&As and hands on workshops about the latest changes to planning and the impact on town and parish councils.
