Collingham Neighbourhood Plan – Progress Update 

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

Progress to Date 

Over the past year, the Collingham Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group – made up of local residents, Parish Council members, and community stakeholders – has worked diligently to gather input, conduct research, and draft a plan that reflects the priorities of our community. 

Key milestones achieved so far include: 

  • Community Engagement: We’ve held public consultation events, surveys, and focus groups to gather your views on housing, green spaces, transport, local character, and infrastructure. 
  • Evidence Gathering: We’ve compiled technical data and local insights, including environmental studies and heritage assessments, to support the plan’s policies. 
  • Policy Development: Based on community feedback, we’ve drafted a series of planning policies to guide future development in Collingham in a way that respects its character and meets local needs. 

We are now in the final stages of drafting the Neighbourhood Plan. 

What’s Next? 

We are currently refining the draft plan and preparing the necessary documentation for formal submission. This includes: 

  • A final round of community consultation (Regulation 14) 
  • Revisions based on feedback received 
  • Completion of the Basic Conditions Statement and Consultation Statement 

Anticipated Submission Date 

We aim to submit the Collingham Neighbourhood Plan to the local planning authority (Newark and Sherwood District Council) by late summer 2025. Once submitted, the plan will enter the next phase, including independent examination and a local referendum. 

Stay Involved 

Your voice continues to be vital. Updates, event details, and draft documents will be published here and shared through our community channels.
