Welcome to Longhoughton Parish’s Neighbourhood Plan web site. It has been established so that residents and other interested parties can obtain an understanding and information on the progress of the Plan. Overall it has taken six years to complete and soon all residents will get the opportunity to vote on the plan. The plan is about the use of land within the Parish over the period from 2025 to 2036 for things like housing, business and tourism development, recreation and sports areas, the protection of heritage and environmental assets such as the Northumberland Coast National Landscape (AONB), and for community facilities that require land. Once the plan is approved, all planning applications for the Parish will have to comply with the policies contained in the plan.
The Submission Plan and supporting documentation has now been submitted to Northumberland County Council who are conducting a consultation from 11.04.25 to 30.05.25. They will also appoint an Independent Examiner. The Submission Plan and all the supporting documents can be viewed on the County Council’s website: https://www.northumberland.gov.uk/Planning/Neighbourhood-Planning/Neighbourhood-Plans.aspx
