Lawshall Neighbourhood Plan
The Lawshall Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) was 'made' (adopted) by Babergh District Council in October 2017. It covers the period 2016 - 2036.
The NDP is now being reviewed (modified) by the parish council so that it can continue to help guide and shape development in the parish. The Lawshall NDP Review will cover the plan period 2021 - 2037.
The process for modifying a NDP is set out in the relevant regulations. The nature of the modifications will determine how much of the process needs to be repeated.
