What is a neighbourhood plan?
A neighbourhood plan is a COMMUNITY PREPARED development plan (although it can cover non-development issues) that, once adopted, will be part of the statutory Local Plan for the city.
It is a statutory development plan that is prepared by the local community (a Neighbourhood Forum) for a specified area (a Neighbourhood Area). This is a new right that local communities have, introduced by the Localism Act 2011.

A Neighbourhood Plan could:• Decide where new development takes place• Decide what new development should look like• Include (in theory) any issue that is important
for the sustainability of the neighbourhood• The plan can be detailed or general, depending
what local people want
