We need to hear your views on our emerging policies for future land use and development in Tollerton.
We are working with residents to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan for the parish. The Neighbourhood Plan will shape any development which comes forward within the parish and identify the issues most important to the community.
Planning policies within the Tollerton Neighbourhood Plan will make sure that these issues are reflected in decisions on local planning applications.
We are seeking views on the emerging policies to be included in the Tollerton Neighbourhood Plan to make sure that they reflect what matters most to Tollerton’s residents and how the best things about the parish can be protected whilst making the most of the opportunities presented by development.
1. Find out about the Emerging Policies
We have published an Emerging Policies Report to provide a summary of what the Tollerton Neighbourhood Plan will aim to achieve.
It sets out a draft Vision and Objectives. It also introduces a series of draft planning policy outlines. These provide an overview of what each policy will aim to achieve and we want to check we have got it right before moving on to the next stage.
Alongside the draft policies are draft aspirations. These aspirations deal with matters which do not relate to planning permission and therefore cannot be covered by planning policies. For example, supporting independent businesses is really important locally but cannot be achieved through the approval or refusal of a planning application

A paper copy will also be sent to all homes within the parish.
2. Comment on the Consultation
We want to know what you think about the ideas set out in the Emerging Policies Report.
Do you think the right priorities have been identified? Have we missed anything you feel is important? Do you agree or disagree with the vision and objectives? We have included some questions to get you thinking throughout this document, you can answer some or all of them.
Choose the questions most appropriate to you, you can answer all of them or skip to the ones most important to you:
