New Forest District Council and New Forest National Park Authority have jointly commenced the formal Regulation 16 consultation on the draft Lymington and Pennington Neighbourhood Plan. The six-week consultation period runs from Friday 18th April until 5:00pm on Friday 30th May 2025, providing stakeholders with a critical opportunity to submit representations on this important planning document, spanning the combined administrative jurisdiction.
“This consultation represents a significant milestone in the neighbourhood planning process for Lymington and Pennington,” states Jonathan Leigh, Senior Planner at Chapman Lily Planning. “The draft plan reflects considerable community engagement and call-to-action by Lymington and Pennington Town Council, and will, subject to successful examination and referendum, become a statutory planning document with substantial influence on future development decisions within the designated Neighbourhood Area.”
