Neighbourhood Plan – East Leake Parish Council

Neighbourhood planning gives local communities the opportunity to plan for their local areas and decide how they develop and grow in the future. It can be used to:

.. choose where new homes, shops and offices should be built…
.. have a say on what those new buildings should look like
.. influence the design and functionality of open spaces around where you live
.. grant planning permission for the new buildings your community wants to see go ahead.

East Leake Parish Council has established a Neighbourhood Plan Project Team to take forward a Neighbourhood Plan for East Leake. Relevant documents and progress reports will be made available here.
