If the plan passes examination, it will be put to a local referendum and residents who are registered to vote will get a say on whether the local planning authority should use the plan to help determine planning applications in the parish.
Cllr Colin Horncastle, cabinet member for looking after our communities, said: “Neighbourhood planning enables communities to play a much stronger role in shaping the areas in which they live and work and in influencing the location and design of development proposals.
“Finding out how local people want their area to develop in the future is vitally important to ensure the plan reflects local character and aspiration.
