Norton Canes Neighbourhood Area was designated on 10 January 2018.

The designation of a Neighbourhood Area is the first step to enable the production of a Neighbourhood Plan.  The Neighbourhood Plan will be produced by Norton Canes Parish Council, who applied for the Neighbourhood Area designation.

A Neighbourhood Plan can cover a wide range of issues relating to the future development of the area, for example social, environmental and economic issues, which can set out policies for determining future planning applications in the Norton Canes area.
