Terrington Neighbourhood Plan
Following several well-attended public meetings in February and March 2023, the Parish Council decided to take forward the development of a Neighbourhood Plan.
News
Terrington Parish Draft Neighbourhood Plan – Formal Public Consultation
In September 2024, a letter was delivered to all parishioners telling them about the six week public consultation period during which responses to the draft plan could be submitted to the Parish Council. Drop-in information sessions were held in Terrington Village Hall on 30th September and 19th October.
The consultation period is now closed, but you can still read the draft Neighbourhood Plan and Terrington Parish Design Codes and Guidance, which is referenced in the draft Neighbourhood Plan, and the Consultation Statement, which provides a summary of the engagement and consultation that has taken place to date in developing the draft Plan.
If you would like to view a printed copy of the draft Plan, it is available from either Cllr Jane Kendrick, The Pheasantry off Main Street, or Ali Wilson, Owlers Lodge, North Back Lane, both in Terrington. Please phone first: Jane 07969 080692 / Ali 07388 365904.
Neighbourhood Plan Survey Report
Terrington Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group commissioned a survey of residents across the Parish to aid in the development of the Neighbourhood Plan. The survey was carried out in November and December 2023 and the Survey Report produced in January 2024 summarises the results from the survey and the main conclusions drawn.
Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group
A Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, as an advisory sub-committee of the Parish Council, has been set up with Cllr Kendrick as the Lead Councillor on the committee. The Terms of Reference of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group were agreed by the Parish Council on 10 July 2023.
The members of the Steering Group are: Julie Cowdy, Jane Kendrick, David Mellows-Facer, Sue Mellows-Facer and Alison Wilson.
The Group has met regularly since the first meeting in June 2023. Meetings are not public but are reported back to the Parish Council.

Background
Why we need a Neighbourhood Plan
Our neighbourhood plan will be:
- A document that sets out planning policies for the Parish. Those policies are then used to decide whether to approve planning applications.
- Written by the people who love the area and know it best, rather than the local authority.
- A powerful tool to ensure the Parish gets the right types of development, in the right places.
