Stebbing Parish Council
Stebbing Neighbourhood Plan Review
Drop-In Event
St Mary’s Church
Saturday 21 November 2026: 1000 - 1400
Residents will perhaps recall reading our recent articles in Stebbing Scene, reporting that Stebbing Parish Council is reviewing its Neighbourhood Plan 2022.The Review is to be updated in accordance with the requirements of the new Uttlesford Local Plan 2021 – 2041, adopted in March 2026, as well as to be consistent with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) as revised in August 2026.
Stebbing is classified in the Local Plan as a “Large Village”, along with 8 other similar sized Parishes in the District, and they are required to allocate land for future housing as a contribution to national mandatory housing requirements. Stebbing’s requirement is to provide for a minimum of 98 dwellings.
The Neighbourhood Plan Review will have to allocate new sites to accommodate this housing requirement and will also include additional and updated policies to guide and manage future planning applications submitted in the Parish.
As part of the Review, we recently undertook a Survey asking residents for details about the makeup of their households and their views concerning future development and other aspirations for the Parish. Recently, we also conducted a Call for Sites exercise asking landowners and promoters to identify sites which they consider might be suitable for development in the future.
We are now inviting residents to learn about the results of the Survey and Call for Sites by attending a drop-in event which has been scheduled for Saturday 21st November. We would also like to find out what vision residents have for Stebbing by 2041. Slides, display boards, information and maps will be available to view. Residents will be able to ask questions and comments will be welcomed.
We look forward to seeing as many residents as possible and shall be pleased to answer your questions.
St Mary’s Café will be open for refreshments and parking will be available in the Church Car Park.
