The Supporting Communities and Neighbourhoods in Planning Programme helps local groups develop neighbourhood plans.

New £9.5m fund and support

We’re pleased to announce that the government has created a new £9.5m fund, plus a programme of support to help communities produce neighbourhood plans.

Locality and our partners, including the Royal Town Planning Institute, are delivering the funding and support.

Neighbourhood Planning Roadmap

We’ve produced a guide to help groups navigate the world of neighbourhood planning. The Neighbourhood Planning Roadmap Guide is available to download now.

We’ve also produced a Quick Guide to Neighbourhood Plans which gives you an overview of the process.

We have created an online space for people to exchange advice and ask questions about neighbourhood planning.  Visit the online neighbourhood planning hub.
