Neighbourhood Planning Exhibition 14th -19th March 2016

The Civic Society has arranged a Neighbourhood Planning Exhibition from 14th - 19th March to help residents decide if a Neighbourhood Plan would be good for Marple.

In the absence of a council-led local Plan for Marple, all planning applications are judged against national and strategic planning policies which are neither appropriate nor sensitive to Marple's needs and character. The result is poor planning decisions for Marple and lack of direction for the development and regeneration of the Town Centre. 

Neighbourhood Planning is a new community power that gives people more control over planning and development in their area. 

We hope you will come along to to the exhibition to find out more about Neighbourhood Planning - what it means and what it can do for Marple. If there is sufficient support an independent Neighbourhood forum will be set up to develop a Marple Neighbourhood Plan.
