Our Pre-Submission consultation started on 20 May 2024 and ran through to 2 August 2024 (extended date)

This consultation was an opportunity for everyone in the Little Woodhouse Area to look at the draft planning policies that have been developed on the basis of feedback and views gathered from local residents and organisations. All comments will be considered in drawing up the Final Draft Neighbourhood Plan.

What happens next

Now that the main documents are prepared in draft, including evidence, the Pre-Submission consultation results will be considered in drawing up the final version for submission to Leeds City Council.

Formal consultations will include the City Council departments and other interested bodies, then presentation to the Examiner and a final consultation before a local Referendum. Voting will be open to all registered voters in the Neighbourhood Area. If a majority of votes agree, then the Neighbourhood Plan is “made” and will form part of the planning policies which inform planning decisions.
