• • Liaising with statutory and non-statutory stakeholders.
• • Advising on the required evidence base, preparing evidence and/or helping to appoint appropriate consultants to prepare evidence (including grant funded work via Locality technical support).
• • Helping to drafting the neighbourhood plan and its policies.
• • Helping to interpret consultation responses and updating documents.

Our primary role is to guide the Steering Group and Parish Council through the neighbourhood planning process, to ensure that they create a plan which meets the legal requirements (basic conditions), passes examination, and then is made following a successful referendum.
