Collingham Neighbourhood Plan - Important

The Parish Council are in the process of creating a Neighbourhood Plan for Collingham which will cover the period 2024-2036.

The Neighbourhood Plan is additional to Local Planning Authority (Newark & Sherwood District Council) and National policies (NPPF) and will give you and your community a stronger voice in decision making on matters affecting Collingham.

The benefit to you of this Plan being in place will be:

• Your community has a stronger say in planning decisions
• Your community will receive more money from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) which is charged on new developments. This money is then spent directly in our community to improve Collingham.
• You can be part of the collective vision of how Collingham could be up to 2036.

The Plan will contain topics that will affect you like:

• Sustainable Development
• Housing in Collingham
• Green Infrastructure, Green Spaced and Biodiversity
• Built Heritage
• Environment
• Accessibility, Communications and Transport
• Renewable Energy
• Good Design
• Businesses and Services
• Protection of Community Facilities
• Flood Protection and Sustainable Drainage

We are carrying out evidence gathering over the course of the creation of this plan and we need your input and advice. You will have already potentially taken part in a survey in March 2023 and this was the first stage of evidence gathering.

We will be sending out newsletters and further questionnaires over the course of the next 12 to 18 months to interested parties and would like you to indicate if you would like to receive these emails to take part in this process
