Uffington and Baulking Neighbourhood Plan

Uffington Parish Council is working on creating a neighbourhood plan. The process empowers local communities to help direct and shape the way their area grows and develops into the future. A neighbourhood plan will form part of the development plan, which helps to determine future planning applications.

What’s happening now?

The Council accepted the recommendation from Cabinet to make the Uffington and Baulking neighbourhood plan on 17 July 2019. The council's decision statement and made plan will be published in due course.
