Neighbourhood Development Plan

A Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) is basically the community’s say in how the village changes over time. Instead of decisions being made only at district or county level, an NDP lets local people set out what kind of homes, green spaces, and facilities we want — and just as importantly, what we don’t want. This matters in Staverton because the village is a Conservation Area, which means its historic character, old buildings, and countryside setting are all protected. Having an NDP helps us make sure that any new development fits in with the village we know and love, while still allowing for sensible growth in the future.
