Re: Formal adoption of the ‘Elmswell Neighbourhood Plan 2022 - 2037’ by Mid Suffolk District Council

As a statutory consultee, or as someone who has previously expressed an interest in this matter, we are writing to notify you that Mid Suffolk District Council have decided to ‘make’ (adopt) the Elmswell Neighbourhood Plan. This decision, which came into effect on Friday 24 November 2023, follows on from the majority yes vote at the local referendum held a few days earlier.

The Elmswell Neighbourhood Plan now becomes part of our development framework and will be used to help guide decision making on planning applications in the parish.
