Updating the Ropley Parish Neighbourhood Plan
Why is the Neighbourhood Plan important?
Neighbourhood Plans have legal status: local councils and planning inspectors must make their planning decisions on the basis of the policies contained in the Neighbourhood Plan. Without a current one we are more at risk of over-development and will be less able to influence change in our area.

Neighbourhood Plan update progress: May 2025
The Neighbourhood Plan steering group have now drafted an update to the plan making minimal changes to wording, updating out of date information and including any new planning permissions that have been granted. This modified plan has been reviewed by a planning consultant and is now ready for the public consultation stage.
We plan to hold a public consultation meeting, where you can find out about the modifications to the plan. @ The Parish Hall. Friday 16th May between 7.30pm & 9.00pm.
Please come along to this drop in session anytime from 7.30 to talk to the team and discuss what we are doing.
A formal six week Public consultation on Ropley’s proposed new Neighbourhood Plan will run from 1st June to 12th July.
A copy of the modified plan and a link to the survey will be available on this page from the 1st June.
We will also have some physical copies of the questionnaire available at the shop.
Public consultation on the Ropley Neighbourhood Plan is now in progress.
This shows the changes to the wording (old wording is crossed out and new wording is in red) We recommend that you read this before you start the survey.
