Neighbourhood Area Designated
This was a formal process whereby Breckland District Council confirmed Saham Toney Parish Council have the right to prepare a Neighbourhood Development Plan. It was successfully completed on 17 March 2016
preliminary consultation events
In July 2015 and again in October 2016 postal questionnaires were sent to every household in the parish.
In July 2016 at the village fete visitor comments were taken.
In late 2016 a questionnaire was sent to businesses and other organisations in the parish.
In all these preliminary consultations resulted in more than 1800 comments from villagers.
​You can see a summary of the results here
first version of plan completed and sent to breckland planners
The first version of the Plan was sent to Breckland Council's neighbourhood planning coordinator for informal comment in February 2017
first version of the plan presented to villagers
In February 2017 an exhibition at the Wells Cole Community Centre gave villagers a chance to read the Plan for themselves, ask questions and make comments
second version of the plan completed and sent to breckland planners
Following Breckland planners' comments on the first version of the Plan, at first just the policies were updated and resubmitted for them to review again in June 2017. They decided not to do that.
third version of THE plan completed and sent to breckland planners
By July 2017 we had updated the entire Plan and also prepared a draft sustainability statement and heritage asset register. We sent all of those to Breckland planners again for their review.
FOURTH VERSION OF THE PLAN Prepared
Breckland planners sent us 165 comments on the third version of the Plan. As a result we added a lot of new evidence to the Plan to better justify its policies. It became rather long, so we split it  in two parts. On 20 October the Parish Council approved this version for publication on this website and for review by a specialist consultant.
SPECIALIST CONSULTANT APPOINTED
Throughout much of September we researched many potential consultants and as a result shortlisted two candidates. We met both during October and in November 2017 awarded a contract to Modicum Planning to review all of the Plan documents, make recommendations for improvements, and subsequently to help us take the Plan through its remaining stages to approval.
CONSULTANT'S REVIEW AND PLAN UPDATE
In December 2017 Rachel Hogger from Modicum Planning made a comprehensive review of all of our documents. we met with her on 5 January 2018 to discuss and fully understand her recommendations, then based on those, made an update of the Plan and its supporting documents. This resulted in many improvements, including the addition of a policy to address housing needs of local people, and many new maps to better explain the policies.
PRESENTATION TO BRECKLAND PLANNING
On 29 January 2018 we made a 30 minute presentation of our revised policies to some planners from Breckland Council and then spent around 90 minutes addressing the questions they had. The intention was to ensure they were as up to date and as well briefed as possible before undertaking a formal review of our Plan at the Regulation 14 consultation stage.
REGULATION 14 CONSULTATION
The first formal public consultation on the Plan and its accompanying documents, known as Regulation 14, ran from 12th March to 29th April 2018
SITE ALLOCATIONS CALL FOR SITES
A call for sites, the first stage in a process to allocate sites in the Neighbourhood Plan, ran from 17th August till 18th October 2018
