Neighbourhood Plan – Consulting our Community | Great Shelford Parish Council

The best way to find out what’s important to our community is to talk to people. That’s how our Steering Group will discover what we like and dislike about our area and how the community would like it to develop in the coming years.

So, there will be lots of opportunities for you to share your opinions. The information we get from talking to local people will help build the evidence base for the Neighbourhood Plan.

We’ll tell you more about timings later but the whole process takes 2-3 years to complete.

Consultationstages

If successful, our NP will become part of the Greater Cambridge Local Plan and have legal force for the benefit of our community.
