Bassetlaw District Council Information
The 2011 Localism Act introduced Neighbourhood Planning, giving communities the right to input into their future development.
The Walkeringham Neighbourhood Plan has been produced by a Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group which includes Parish Council members alongside Community volunteers.
The plan has been the subject of considerable community consultation and reflects the community priorities and aspirations. It includes policies for deciding where development should take place and the nature of that development.
Thanks to all who have engaged with this process and thanks for the excellent support we have received from both our consultants and the officers of Bassetlaw District Council.
