What is a Neighbourhood Plan?

Neighbourhood Plans give local communities the opportunity to help shape future development in their area.

Once adopted, the Hailsham Neighbourhood Plan Review will form part of the statutory development plan for Wealden and will be used alongside local and national planning policies when determining planning applications.
