Neighbourhood Plans

A Neighbourhood Plan is a way for communities to take a proactive approach to deciding the future of the places where they live and work. Once ‘made’ (adopted) a Neighbourhood Plan has the same legal status as the district wide Local Plan and will be used alongside the Local Plan in deciding planning applications that fall within its area.

Tendring has three adopted Neighbourhood Plans, with a fourth Plan currently being developed.

Adopted Neighbourhood Plans:

• Alresford Neighbourhood Plan
• Ardleigh Neighbourhood Plan
• Elmstead Neighbourhood Plan

Emerging Neighbourhood Plans:

• Brightlingsea Neighbourhood Plan
