Our Neighbourhood Plan is a key planning document produced by the community which, when completed, will sit alongside the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council Local Plan (the Borough Plan). It will represent the views and aspirations of our community and can address local issues that are not covered by the Borough Plan.

The Neighbourhood Plan will give Marshland St James greater control over development, allowing us to influence the type, size and location of development in the village; sitting alongside the Borough’s Plan, its policies will be used to determine planning applications.

It will be in plan for approximately 15 years, so it’s important we get it right – for present and future generations.

Have your say on the future development of the village by completing a survey online at http://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/MSJPLAN, scanning the QR code below or by picking up a hard copy from Marshland Hall.
