Reviewing and Updating the Neighbourhood Plan 2022 / 2023
Who & How
How is the Plan Review being undertaken?
The Steering Group is the body of people appointed to manage and lead on the Neighbourhood Plan. They are charged with overseeing and advising on the review of the Neighbourhood Plan. This is very much a community-led Plan so there are representatives from both Councils and the wider community.
The Steering Group is sponsored by, and reports to Calne Town Council and Calne Without Parish Council, as the accountable body.
The Steering Group meets on a regular basis. Minutes and agendas can be found in the Useful Documents section of this website.
During 2022, wider consultation and engagement will be taking place. As well as online events, there will be pop-up events in different places around the area, and there will also be Topic Groups. Anyone with an interest can get involved in Topic Groups, whose role will be to gather evidence to help update existing policies, and create new draft planning policies.
