Neighbourhood plan survey

Published: 18 October 2024

In 2020, Horsforth residents voted to have the proposed Neighbourhood Plan adopted. This was a great and positive result following years of work that included six public consultations, producing supporting documentation, including the draft neighbourhood plan, and a local referendum.

Adopting the Neighbourhood Plan will give the Horsforth community more power to shape development in the area. This includes influence over where new homes, businesses and offices are built and how these buildings will look., protecting Horsforth’s green spaces, recognition and protection of conservation areas or heritage buildings and influence over whether particular developments get planning permission.

Neighbourhood plan review

Our Neighbourhood Plan was approved by the City Council following public consultation in 2019 and is due to be renewed in 2028. The Town Council have set up a working group to carry out this exercise, and the survey within Horsforth Matters is the first step in the process. In this round of consultation, the Town Council want to understand whether you feel the Neighbourhood Plan is meeting the objectives set out in 2019.

We want to understand what your priorities are for future development in Horsforth.
