Tunstead neighbourhood plan

Neighbourhood plan progress

Tunstead with Sco Ruston Parish Council has submitted its proposed Neighbourhood Plan for independent examination. The examination will enable the Plan to be tested to ensure it conforms to the Basic Conditions, and the examiner will make recommendations to us on the Plan's suitability to move forward to a public referendum. Before the examination begins, there will be an opportunity to comment on the document and supporting information.

A six-week consultation period is anticipated to commence in early September. Further details about the consultation will be published at this time.
