We are seeking your views on the draft
Southborough and High Brooms Neighbourhood Development Plan 2024 - 2038
This Consultation will run from 9 December 2024 to 31 January 2025
In 2023 Southborough Town Council (STC) requested Tunbridge Wells Borough Council (TWBC) to designate Southborough and High Brooms as a neighbourhood area; it shares its boundary with the civil parish of Southborough. A Steering Committee of town councillors and volunteers from the local community was set up to develop the Southborough and High Brooms Neighbourhood Development Plan.
Our Neighbourhood Plan sets out a vision, a set of objectives and policies that bring a very local focus to development planning for our area. When approved our Neighbourhood Plan will sit alongside the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council’s Local Plan when planning applications are being considered. This Consultation is one of the steps to take our Plan forward to approval and implementation. Your comments will be analysed and incorporated into the Plan as appropriate and there will be a further opportunity for you to comment later in 2025.
​
Please complete the survey below with reference to the attached Plan documents. The “At a Glance Summary” will help you to find your way around the themes and policies covered. You do not have to be a resident of the area to respond.
A paper copy of the Plan is available for review in the Library at the Southborough Civic Centre, together with printed copies of the survey response form.
