The first stage in the process for the Neighbourhood Development Plan was to designate the Plan area and for this to be agreed by Wealden District Council. The Plan area was consulted on and the consultation document can be seen here and the consultation information here. The Plan area was subsequently approved by Wealden.
At the same time that the Neighbourhood Development Plan is being produced Wealden District Council are also working on the production of a new Local Plan, they consulted on their Issues, Options and Recommendations document. At the same time they also consulted on proposed changes to Conservation Areas. It is important that the Neighbourhood Development Plan is in conformity with the Wealden Local Plan. The Issues, Options and Recommendations document is here and the Conservation Document is here. The Council’s responses to the 2 documents can be found below:
