The Parish Council decided to create a Penkridge Neighbourhood Development Plan to give local people more influence over future planning decisions. Neighbourhood Plans covers topics such as housing and development, schooling and amenities, environmental protection, transport and highway and help to protect our landscape and heritage. 

They can set out what changes we should aim for, as opportunity or funding arise. Most of all, they should represent what local people see as the way forward for the next 5-20 years. The Plan will be developed by a Steering Group which includes Penkridge Parish residents, members from local organisations and Parish Councillors. The members of the Group will have a range of skills and experiences so that we can put together the most effective team.
