Danbury Neighbourhood Plan
Parish-tier councils, or other organisations, can take the lead in creating neighbourhood development plans, community plans and orders for planning in their area. We will help to create the plans, and make decisions at key stages.
Adoption
The Danbury Neighbourhood Plan has been developed by Danbury Parish Council. It covers the whole of the parish, and includes planning policies on the environment, village character, development, and open space.
We held a referendum on the Danbury Neighbourhood Plan on 12 December 2024.
The result was that a majority of voters were in favour of using the neighbourhood plan for Danbury to help decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area.
The Plan was made (or adopted) on 20 December 2024.
