Neighbourhood Planning support continues

Locality will continue to deliver the Neighbourhood Planning Support Programme over the next four years, from 2018-2022. The programme builds on the 2015-18 programme and any support previously received will be taken into account.

The programme will provide anyone working on a neighbourhood plan with support from the Locality team, AECOM and other partners/specialists through:

• a basic grant of up to £9,000
• additional grants for eligible groups with an extra £8,000
• technical support through expert partners AECOM and other specialists

Under the new programme there will be some important changes to eligibility criteria for support available to groups. In addition, the amount groups are eligible for in grants will depend on what they have already received in the 2015-18 programme.

Full details of the changes and eligibility are available on neighbourhoodplanning.org The new programme opened for applications on 3 April 2018 and you can read more details here:
