Last week, the Wing Neighbourhood Plan was approved for public consultation - and now you can have your say.

Rutland County Council is inviting representations on the Draft Wing Neighbourhood Plan, which has been formally submitted by Wing Parish Council.

This follows the introduction of the Market Overton, Langham, and Oakham and Barleythorpe Neighbourhood Plans over the last year.

The Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan is also under discussion, alongside the Whissendine and North Luffenham Neighbourhood Plans.

The Neighbourhood Plan sets out how parishes, towns and villages in Rutland should be developed over the period to 2035.

The Wing plan has been prepared by the Wing Neighbourhood Plan Group, following consultation with the local community. It includes policies covering housing and the built environment, the natural, historic and social environment and community sustainability. 

Comments on the Draft Plan can be made up until 5pm on Friday 28 July 2023.

The Plan and supporting documents are available to view on the Neighbourhood Planning pages of Rutland County Council's website.

Representations must be made in writing and can be submitted in the following ways:

• Emailed to [email protected]
• Posted to Planning Policy, Rutland County Council, Catmose, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6HP 

Once this consultation has closed, all representations and comments will be passed to an independent examiner. The examiner will then consider the representations and recommend whether the Neighbourhood Plan should be put to a community referendum. 

If you have any questions about the Wing Neighbourhood Plan, please email: [email protected] or call: 01572 722 577 and ask for the Planning Policy Team.
