Sydenham Neighbourhood Plan
The Sydenham Neighbourhood Plan became part of the Development Plan on 6 May 2021 and carries full weight in the determination of planning applications. On 20 May 2021 it was agreed to be made and that it should continue to be part of the development plan. The plan covers the period up to 2034.
What’s happening now?
The parish council recently ran the statutory pre-submission consultation on the draft plan review, which ended on 26 June 2026. The local community and statutory consultees were invited to offer their comments on the draft neighbourhood plan. The parish council are reviewing comments received and making changes to the draft plan before formally submitting it to the district council.
Once the plan review has been submitted, the district council will organise a further publicity period, inviting comments from the public and statutory consultees. All documents and comments received are then submitted for independent examination.
