Prepared by Swinderby Parish Council with the support from the local community, the neighbourhood plan sets out a shared vision for the parish and includes planning policies that will be used when determining planning applications in the area.

The neighbourhood plan has been formally submitted to the District Council to be subject to a period of publicity. The public consultation runs from Monday, October 26 to Monday, December 7 2026.

The plan, supporting information and the response forms can be downloaded from the North Kesteven District Council website.

In addition, two drop-in sessions to view the neighbourhood plan, and to provide feedback, have been arranged at Swinderby village hall on Monday, November 23 and Thursday, November 26 (both 4.30pm-7.00pm).

Any comments on the neighbourhood plan must be submitted in writing to North Kesteven District Council using the response forms by 5pm on Monday, December 7 2026.
