Congratulations #Totternhoe #neighbourhoodplan for passing your referendum! Another success 😃

#Faversham #musicals #choir

In light of the govt axing neighbourhood planning grants, unitary authorities being pursued, proposed nationalising of dm policies and restricting planning committees to major development - what is the future for community involvement in planning? I'd be keen to hear your views

Just had a very positive examiners report for the Much Wenlock Neighbourhood Plan Review (13 new policies) which I've co-ordinated - my latest in a string! Contact me if you need assistance in your NDP.

5 of my #neighbourhoodplans have either had glowing examiners reports or have passed their referendums in the last few weeks! Another one going to referendum on Thursday! Good news for community involvement in planning

Fabulous #neighbourhoodplan referendum turnout and result for #middletononseq in #arun - we'll done all

Another flurry of very positive examiners reports for my #neighbourhoodplan groups received 🎉

Absolutely fantastic turnout at the East Dean and Friston #neighbourhoodplan #ndp referendum yesterday - not far off half the community - and a resounding 'yes'. I've loved working with this picturesque parish in the South Downs - well done everyone 💜

Another successful #NeighbourhoodPlan referendum yesterday, this time for Langdon Parish in Dover district. Well done to everyone involved, it's been so lovely to work with you all

Another week and another successful #NeighbourhoodPlan referendum - this time #MuchWenlock a refresh of their original plan. Well done to everyone involved 🥳
