Neighbourhood Plan[edit]
In 2009 the Barlaston Parish Council undertook to produce a Village Plan and to focus on a number of local issues, this Village Plan is now referred to as the Neighbourhood Plan following the passing of the Localism Act 2011. The Localism Act introduced new rights and powers to allow local communities to shape new development by coming together to prepare neighbourhood plans parish councils can use new neighbourhood planning powers to establish general planning policies for the development and use of land in a neighbourhood. The Barlaston Neighbourhood Plan was made and then adopted on 23 July 2019 following a referendum which was held on Thursday 2 May 2019.[5]
