Boreham Neighbourhood Plan consultation
About Neighbourhood Plan consultations
Parish-tier councils, or other organisations, can take the lead in creating neighbourhood development plans, community plans and orders for planning in their area. We will help to create the plans, and make decisions at key stages.
Adoption
The Boreham Neighbourhood Plan has been developed by Boreham Parish Council. The plan covers the whole of the parish, and includes planning policies on village character, the built environment, the natural environment, access and movement, and community facilities.
We held a referendum on the Boreham Neighbourhood Plan on 30 July 2026 and you can view the details on our election results page. The majority of voters in the referendum chose to support the Boreham Neighbourhood Plan.
The plan was made (or adopted) on 3 August 2026. It now forms part of Chelmsford’s Local Plan and we have published an adoption statement for it.
