Loose Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan 2025 – 2038:
Pre-Submission Draft Neighbourhood Plan Feedback Survey (Regulation 14 Consultation)

Please complete by Friday 23 October 2026

About this survey

Residents of Loose Parish, together with other interested parties, are invited to comment on the Pre-Submission Version Loose Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan.
We already have Neighbourhood Plans covering North Loose and Loose, but since the Parish was enlarged, we are taking the opportunity to write a new one for the whole area.

The new Neighbourhood Development Plan is a document that sets out a vision and objectives and a series of planning policies for our Parish for the coming years to 2038. It is an important tool to influence what happens here - how land is used and how planning applications in our area are determined.

Please read the full text of the Neighbourhood Development Plan and the policies and indicate how strongly, or otherwise, you agree with each one.
You can view a copy of the Plan and supporting documents in a new window by visiting the Loose Parish Council website.

Please tick the appropriate box to record your views on each policy and add any additional comments you wish to make. You do not have to answer all the questions, but please try to complete as many as possible - your views are extremely important to us.
