Loddon and Chedgrave Neighbourhood Plan

South Norfolk Council and the Broads Authority have designated a Neighbourhood Area that covers the civil parishes of Loddon and Chedgrave, for the purposes of developing a joint Neighbourhood Plan. This follows an application made by Loddon Town Council, on behalf of both Loddon and Chedgrave Town/Parish Councils, as the designated Qualifying Body for preparing the plan. This designation was made in February 2022, in accordance with Regulation 5A of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended). 

Since that time, a steering group of volunteers, working on behalf of the Town Council and the Parish Council has been developing a proposed Neighbourhood Plan for the parish, which has involved extensive evidence gathering and consultation with the community and other stakeholder bodies.
