Thank you for your interest in the Collingham Neighbourhood Plan, a community-led initiative to shape the future of our village.

Progress to Date

Over the last two years, the Collingham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group — made up of local residents, Parish Council members, and community stakeholders — has worked diligently to gather evidence, engage with the community, and prepare a draft plan that reflects the priorities and aspirations of the local community.

Key milestones achieved to date include:

Community Engagement
We have held public consultation events, surveys, and focus groups to gather views on housing, green spaces, transport, local character, and infrastructure.

Evidence Gathering
A comprehensive evidence base has been prepared, drawing on technical studies and local knowledge, including environmental, heritage, and planning assessments, to ensure the plan is robust and policy-compliant.

Policy Development
Using community feedback and supporting evidence, a series of draft planning policies has been developed to guide future development in Collingham in a way that meets local needs while protecting the village’s character.

We are now ready to move to the next stage of the process.

Regulation 14 Consultation

The Regulation 14 public consultation on the draft Collingham Neighbourhood Plan will run for six weeks, from 2 February to 16 March 2026.

During this period, the draft Neighbourhood Plan and supporting documents will be available to view on this webpage, in person in the Library or by request for an email copy.

Residents, businesses, landowners, and other stakeholders are invited to submit comments and representations by:

1. Online form – CLICK HERE TO ACCESS QUESTIONNAIRE

What Happens Next?

Following the close of the Regulation 14 consultation, the Steering Group will:

• Review and respond to all representations received
• Make any necessary amendments to the draft plan
• Finalise the Basic Conditions Statement and Consultation Statement

Anticipated Submission Date

We aim to submit the Collingham Neighbourhood Plan to Newark and Sherwood District Council in late spring 2026.

Once submitted, the plan will be subject to independent examination and, if found to meet the required conditions, will proceed to a local referendum. Subject to a successful referendum, the Neighbourhood Plan will form part of the statutory development plan and will be used to help determine planning applications in Collingham.
