What is Coleford Neighbourhood Development Plan?
CNDP helps guide and shape land use and development in the parish. FoDDC use this alongside their emerging Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework to decide on planning applications.
Coleford Town Council will be responsible for the final review document, but we need skills, expertise and interests of local people to create this. Please get involved. The current CNDP, now seven years old, runs until 2026 so it’s now time to review and decide how we see Coleford’s future. So whether you live, work, go to school or just visit Coleford regularly we’d like you to help create the vision of how the town might look in years to come, to shape decisions that will affect the way the town grows and flourishes.
This affects the whole Coleford area so your opinions are important if you live or are involved in any of the surrounding villages and areas, including Coalway, Milkwall, Broadwell, Mile End, Forest Grove, Scowles and Whitecliff.
Let us know what matters to you and listen to what affects others. Join a theme group: the town centre, the local economy, housing, community and community facilities, transport and infrastructure, the natural environment and historic environment.
Find the existing Plan and its policies is athttps://www.colefordtowncouncil.gov.uk/neighbourhood-development-plan/current-plan . We will use this as a basis to improve, fill any gaps, and address changes that have recently happened. We can also think forward to 2041 in terms of bigger issues such as climate change as they affect us.
