Neighbourhood Development Plan
What is a Neighbourhood Development Plan?

The Steering Group

A Neighbourhood Development Plan must be led by a ‘qualifying body’. In our case, it is Ilmington Parish Council. A number of volunteers have come forward and expressed an interest in helping to create a Plan. As a result, the Parish Council has set up a steering group to facilitate production of the Plan. The steering group can be made up of Parish Councillors and people in the village with relevant expertise or an interest in driving the plan forward. The Steering Group will report regularly to the Parish Council who must approve the final draft for submission. They will operate in accordance with a set of rules known as the Terms of Reference.
Amongst the many ways the Steering Group will go about producing a Plan, they will look to: Provide a forum for discussion and debate Motivate the community to be involved throughout the plan Set up sub-groups to focus on particular themes that arise through the consultation process Identify ways of involving the whole community and gather the views and opinions of as many individuals, groups and organisations in the community as possible Determine the types of survey and information gathering to be used.
