Neighbourhood Planning Programme (England)

The Department for Communities and Local Government has announced that the current Neighbourhood Planning programme will close to applications towards the end of January 2015. The programme provides financial support to encourage more communities to draw up neighbourhood plans. This can include choosing the location of new homes, shops and offices, having a say on what new buildings should look like; and grant planning permission for new buildings.
