Those ideas have been ‘translated’ into planning terms and linked to planning policies.
It includes policies on sustainable development, housing, the community, historic environment and connectivity.
The referendum is the final stage of the process.
If approved, the neighbourhood plan becomes a legal document which must be taken into account when planning decisions are made.
