Chartham Neighbourhood Plan
Chartham Parish Council has prepared a Neighbourhood Development Plan, which sets out a vision for the future of Chartham and planning policies which, if adopted, will be used to determine planning applications locally.
Chartham Parish Council formally submitted the plan to Canterbury City Council under Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) on Tuesday 23 December 2025.
This consultation closed on 31 March 2026 but the supporting details are being left on this page for the public’s information.

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