Council is currently reviewing its 2017 Neighbourhood Plan.    

Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area.

Leiston-cum-Sizewell Town Council is in the process of reviewing its Neighbourhood Plan for the parish. The current Plan runs to 2029 and the review will extend the period it covers to 2040.

With the Sizewell C project now in construction it is a good time to review our existing plan to ensure it considers the impact of this nationally significant infrastructure project on the parish.  Council has already held an initial engagement event to consider if the existing key objectives in its current plan are appropriate and as a result, is working to develop greater emphasis on biodiversity across the parish.

As part of the review, we are considering the merits of making new site allocations for development.  We are primarily looking at sites for residential use but will consider other uses in the Call for Sites.  Sites must be at least 0.1 hectares in size.

It is understood that any response represents a draft position and at this stage does not automatically bind a landowner to make any such provisions. These will be subject to further engagement with the public.

Our current Neighbourhood Plan can be viewed and all the associated documents relating to its inception and adoption, including the examiner’s report, on the East Suffolk website at this link http://www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/planning/neighbourhood-planning/neighbourhood-plans-in-the-area/leiston-neighbourhood-area/
