Designation of neighbourhood area

Edgmond Parish has started preparing a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) for the Parish of Edgmond in accordance with Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. The first formal step in the process is to designate a neighbourhood area and define the proposed boundary covered by a plan. In June 2016 Edgmond Parish Council applied for the designation of the neighbourhood area, the proposed boundary being the whole of the parish boundary area.

A six week consultation began on 19 July 2016 until 31 August 2016 and Telford & Wrekin Council approved the designation in September 2016.
