Westbourne Parish Council is reviewing its Neighbourhood Plan to keep it up-to-date with changes in local and national legislation, and to plan for new homes in the Parish allocated by the government. The reviewed Plan will cover the period from 2025-2039.
An important part of this process is obtaining the views and aspirations of the local community to build upon the information that was given to the Council to help develop the first and existing Plan.
Community consultation
Residents, businesses and visitors are invited to complete a questionnaire to give views following on from previous consultations. Your responses will help to shape the proposed second version of the Plan - an important document used when deciding planning applications in the Parish to ensure housing is developed in the right places and meets local environmental, biodiversity and community policies.
Click here to complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire is available for residents, businesses and visitors to fill in from 23 March 2026 for six weeks to 8 May 2026. There are 34 questions and it will take just five minutes to complete. Your feedback will be invaluable to help shaping the reviewed Plan to get the very best for Westbourne.
Thank you for your support.
