About the plan
What is a neighbourhood plan?
​
-
A Neighbourhood Plan is a document that sets out planning policies for the neighbourhood area.
-
These planning policies are used to decide whether to approve planning applications.
-
It is written by the local community, the people who live in and know the area, rather than Rutland County Council.
-
It has the same legal status as the Local Plan, and fits within it.
-
It cannot stop development, but it can control it with the right type of development in the right places.
-
It is an important and powerful tool that gives communities statutory powers based on the Localism Act 2011.
​
Why Ketton and Tinwell?
​
The two villages have several interests in common.
We can also deal with joint interests and avoid extra costs of separate plans.
​
Who is involved?
​
-
YOU and everyone else in your village – as the community
-
The Steering Group – as the coordinators
-
Ketton Parish Council – as the responsible body
-
Rutland County Council – as the local planning authority

This website will contain updates and news about the Neighbourhood Plan process, as well as Agendas of forthcoming meetings and Minutes. Meetings are open to residents of both parishes to attend as observers.
This is a volunteer-led project. We would be delighted to see more volunteers in any capacity. If you would like to get involved, please contact us at ket2tin@gmail.com

Thanks to Ketton Parish Council and Tinwell Parish meeting for initial funding, and to Rutland County Council for its support.
