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 three 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.

Regulation 14 Consultation

We undertook the Regulation 14 Consultation with the public, stakeholders and statutory consultees in February and March 2026. Following this, the Draft Neighbourhood Plan was amended to take into account comments received.

In May 2026, the Parish Council resolved to submit the updated Draft Neighbourhood Plan to Newark & Sherwood District Council for the Regulation 15 Submission.

Regulation 15 Submission

The Draft Neighbourhood Plan was submitted to the Local Authority on 26 June 2026.

Regulation 16 Consultation

The Regulation 16 public consultation on the draft Collingham Neighbourhood Plan will run for until 5pm on 1 September 2026.

The consultation is being carried out by Newark & Sherwood District Council and all documents are accessible here on the Local Authority web page – CLICK HERE.

Following this, the Plan, together with any representations received, will be submitted for independent examination.
