Neighbourhood Plan Monitoring Group

The Neighbourhood Plan Monitoring Group is a small group of knowledgable residents, separate from the Parish Council, who consider new planning applications as they arise and assess if they are compliant with the policies of the Neighbourhood Plan.  The terms of reference explain how the group operates NP Monitoring Group Terms of Reference. The Group meets as when necessary: meeting minutes are shown below on this page.
