Completed plans will undergo independent examination and, if successful, a referendum will follow with the local community. If the majority of eligible voters in the neighbourhood area vote in favour of the plan it will be ‘made’ by full council and will form part of the development plan. It will then be used to determine planning applications within the neighbourhood plan area. Below are the 'made' plans.

Broadstone Residential Design Guide and Design Codes

Broadstone Neighbourhood Forum has prepared and consulted on a design guide and three design codes which set out the design criteria for:

• the area between Springdale Road, High Park Road and Roman Road
• the area from Clarendon Road junction to West Way to the Upton Way – the High Way junction, and;
• the Golf Links Road area, part of which already has conservation status.

The Residential Design Guide document (March 2023) is a companion guide to the Broadstone Neighbourhood Plan, providing further specific and general design principles and guidance. It should be used by those applying for planning permission and by decision makers.
