Bude-Stratton Town Council (BSTC), is initiating a comprehensive review of its Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP), initially approved in 2016. This revision aims to ensure the plan remains an effective tool within the local planning framework, reflecting the latest community needs and environmental challenges.

Scope of Work and Community Involvement
The selected consultant will be responsible for creating a project plan, supporting the NDP review working group, conducting public consultations and drafting the reviewed NDP in alignment with national and local planning policies. Community and stakeholder involvement is crucial, with a wide range of local organisations and residents providing input through mixed methods of engagements.
Budget and Timeline
The council has allocated £10,000 for this consultancy, covering all aspects of the review process. The project is set to begin on 1st March 2024, with a target of completion of the review in time for a referendum on 1st May 2025.
