Berwick Town Council is taking the lead in creating a Neighbourhood Plan and will consult with residents and businesses to help determine the future look of Berwick, Spittal & Tweedmouth.
Neighbourhood plans allow local people to shape decisions about how land is used. Where do we need houses, schools, parks and places to work? It is not about money, but if done well our plan will attract investment and make our town a better place to live in. The Neighbourhood Plan policies will be used by Northumberland County Council, together with their Core Strategy, as a basis for deciding planning applications
We have set-up a Steering Group to prepare the plan, and to manage public consultation. There will be a series of Drop-In events early in 2016 to discuss what is most important to local people.
How does this affect me?
We are seeking input from everyone to identify what the plan needs to consider. The consultation will start with drop-in events, which will be held throughout the Plan Area, covering Berwick, Spittal & Tweedmouth. Comments and suggestions can also be provided through our website.
Neighbourhood planning enables people to play a much stronger role in shaping the future of the areas where they live and work.
This is your chance to set out a positive vision for how you want your community to develop over the next ten to fifteen years. You can contribute to planning policies that will help shape the future that you want to see.
