Welcome to the Clavering Neighbourhood Plan Website
Welcome to the Clavering Neighbourhood Plan Website
Following public consultation, and in the light of Uttlesford District Councils (UDC) Draft Local Plan allocating 111 (now 122) new houses in the village, the Parish Council determined that the village should move forward with the preparation of a Clavering Neighbourhood Plan (CNP) focused on housing.
The CNP enables residents to:
Take ownership of the planning and development of Clavering; and
Develop planning policies that reflect the priorities of their area (and has real legal weight)
Once the CNP is drafted the whole community then decides at a referendum vote whether the plan should be brought into force.
This website supports the development of the CNP.
