Chestfield Neighbourhood Plan

Chestfield Parish Council has prepared a draft Neighbourhood Plan, which sets out a vision for the future of Chestfield and planning policies which, if adopted, will be used to determine planning applications locally.  

Chestfield Parish Council formally submitted the plan to Canterbury City Council under The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 on 10 March 2026. 

Consultation closed on 11 June 2026 and you can no longer comment.

What happens next  

Following the consultation, the plan, its supporting evidence and any representations made will be sent to an independent examiner.   

The independent examiner will consider whether the plan meets the basic conditions.  

If the plan passes the independent examination, a referendum will be held, where the community will be able to vote on whether it supports the plan.
