Helpston Neighbourhood Plan

YOUR CHANCE TO BE HEARD! Neighbourhood Planning Referendum Thursday, 15 September at the Village Hall. Tribune readers will remember the Parish Council initiated a Neighbourhood Plan for Helpston in October 2018 and now, at last, you all have an opportunity to vote for or against the following: ‘Do you want Peterborough City Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Helpston to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’ With the expected planning application for housing off Broadwheel Road, a Neighbourhood Plan for Helpston has real legal weight that can direct development in the Village to help achieve local needs and ambitions. A Helpston Neighbourhood Plan can set out a vision for our area and should contain planning policies for the use and development of land. https://www.helpstonparishcouncil.org/ neighbourhood-plan Watch out for more information coming through your door shortly and remember to vote!
