Berkhamsted Neighbourhood Plan - Public Consultation October 2024

Welcome to the first in-person public consultation for the Berkhamsted Neighbourhood Plan.

The Localism Act gives people more of a say in the development of their local community. A key part of this is the creation of a Neighbourhood Plan which reflects the views of the residents. It will have legal status and will be used to influence future planning decisions in the town.

Please use this feedback form when viewing the boards and answer the related questions. Your feedback is invaluable for the development of the plan.

Please give your completed form to one of our volunteers, put it in the ballot box in the Civic Centre foyer, or complete it on your device by scanning the QR code.
