Yapton Neighbourhood Plan 2
Yapton Neighbourhood Plan 2014
Revision 2019 – 2031
The Yapton Neighbourhood Plan was approved following a referendum on 5th November 2014 and is now planning policy, used by Arun DC when making planning decisions. However, the Plan is now out of date and in need of revision to align it with the newly adopted Arun DC Local Plan.
The Plan has been reviewed and some policies are 'saved' from the previous Plan, some are amended and some are new.
