Neighbourhood Plan
First and foremost, our Neighbourhood Plan is quite unique as it has two purposes.
Its primary use is as a planning tool around land use, therefore each planning application is assessed against our Neighbourhood Plan to ensure it meets the policies contained within the plan.
​
Its secondary use is to provide an indication of the various enhancements and projects that the Parish Council could consider, as the Neighbourhood Plan process captured parishioners ideas and suggestions about what could make the parish better.
​
The Neighbourhood Plan was undertaken with the vision to set out what the people of Blofield wish their parish to be like in 2036 and was produced by the Blofield Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group on behalf of the Parish Council
