Reedham Neighbourhood Plan

Reedham Parish Council has prepared a Neighbourhood Plan. It will help guide and shape future development across the parish.

Latest news

The Reedham Neighbourhood Plan was made (adopted) by Broadland District Council on 17 October 2024 and the Broads Authority on 29 November 2024. This follows a local referendum on Thursday 12 September, where 80% of those voting did so in favour of the Plan. This means that the document now forms part of the statutory Development Plan for both Broadland District Council and the Broads Authority areas, and that it will be used in the determination of planning applications within the neighbourhood area.

Background

Reedham Parish Council submitted the Reedham Neighbourhood Plan and other required documents to Broadland District Council & the Broads Authority in August 2023. The submitted documents have been checked by the local planning authorities against the relevant criteria in Schedule 4B of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990 and were approved for publication.

In accordance with Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations, 2012 (as amended), there followed a period of consultation on the Neighbourhood Plan. A summary of the representations received during the consultation can be viewed in the documents section, below.

Mr Andrew Ashcroft was appointed to carry out an independent examination of the Plan following this consultation period. The examiner considered not only the submitted Neighbourhood Plan documents, but also the representations that were submitted during the consultation, and the responses to the examiner’s clarification note.

On 26 March 2024, the Examiner issued his final report. It contains a number of recommended modifications and states that, subject to these being implemented, the Reedham Neighbourhood Plan meets the basic conditions and that it should proceed to a local referendum.

Broadland District Council and Broads Authority subsequently issued a joint Decision Statement detailing their intention to send the Neighbourhood Plan to a referendum, subject to modifications being made as specified by the examiner.

The Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents can also be viewed in the documents section.
