Following a 4 week consultation period between 22 June and 20 July 2016, Milton Keynes Council has designated the Emberton Neighbourhood Area on 21 July 2016. 

 

Emberton Parish Council are preparing a Neighbourhood Plan for our village. The Neighbourhood Plan will help to shape the future of our community and once adopted will be an integral part of the policies used to assess future planning applications. We are at the early-stages of formulating our Neighbourhood Plan and part of that process is to identify sites that have potential for development. 

To prepare a robust Neighbourhood Plan it is proposed to make a small housing allocation of between 10 and 20 houses and would ideally include for the provision of affordable housing. This could be on one, or more than one site, appropriately located within the Parish. Making a housing allocation will ensure that the Neighbourhood Plan is ‘positively prepared’ and meets the tests of ‘soundness’ required by National planning policies. Sites can also be put forward for other types of development, including employment, community and leisure uses. All suggested sites will be assessed against a standard methodology to assess positive and negative planning merits. 

Please use this form to provide supporting information on sites suggested for future development.
