Consultation on the Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan Submission (Regulation 16)

Introduction

Ecclesfield Parish Council has submitted their Neighbourhood Plan to Sheffield City Council (the Local Planning Authority) and we are now consulting on the Neighbourhood Plan. The Neighbourhood Plan has been written by Ecclesfield Parish Council (the plan making body), and it sets out their vision for the future of the Parish and planning polices which, alongside Sheffield’s Local Plan, will be used to determine planning applications within the Parish. Ecclesfield Parish includes Chapeltown, High Green, Grenoside and Ecclesfield.

The consultation runs from 18th May until 29th June.

What does the Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan consist of and where can it be viewed?

The Submission Neighbourhood Plan consists of the following:

• Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan Submission Version
• Ecclesfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan Design Codes
