In theory, yes – approved neighbourhood planning documents can play a key role in stopping unwanted development. The documents name sites for housing developments and, if they are approved in a referendum, they become a legally binding element of the council’s planning policy.

A neighbourhood plan enables a community to influence the design and character of future development in the area where they live.
