Dronfield’s Neighbourhood Plan acknowledges the vision, objectives and strategy of the Local Plan whilst recognising in some detail what the town needs in terms of housing, transport, economy and infrastructure. It also examines in detail the importance of the Green Belt and the quality natural landscape surrounding the town, and the need to protect and enhance heritage.
Consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan ran until 12th April. The Council will collate all the representations made and pass these on to the independent examiner who will examine the plan documents and assess whether the plan is in line with legislation and can therefore proceed to a public referendum. The Council will then decide what action is required and whether to go on to ‘make’ the Neighbourhood Plan part of the development plan for the District.
