The Burpham Neighbourhood Forum produced the Burpham Neighbourhood Plan and submitted it to the Council in February 2015.

“Neighbourhood Plans” are documents containing planning policies for a single neighbourhood area. If a Neighbourhood Plan is adopted, it becomes part of the Development Plan for the borough and be used to help determine planning applications within the Burpham Neighbourhood Area (Burpham ward) along with the long awaited Local Plan.
