Residents answer call to shape town's future planning aspirations
Published Wednesday 24 November 2021There has been a fantastic response to our calls for people to help shape future development in the town and join a neighbourhood plan forum for Market Harborough.
More than 30 people took part in our recent webinar to discuss the proposals to create a neighbourhood plan for the town - but we need more!
Neighbourhood planning is a way for communities to help decide the future of the places where they live and work. It is a way for communities to help decide the future of the places where they live and work. Communities can use a neighbourhood plan to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Although, a neighbourhood plan cannot prevent otherwise sustainable or appropriate development.
You can still register an interest to get involved by emailing neighbourhoodplans@harborough.gov.uk
You must be over 18 years old and live or work in Market Harborough.
