Welcome to Bisley-with-Lypiatt Parish Council’s Neighbourhood Plan (NP) Website.

The examination of the Neighbourhood Plan has started.

Since the submission of the Bisley with Lypiatt Neighbourhood Plan, changes have been introduced to the legislation governing neighbourhood planning. As a result, the appointed Examiner, Deborah McCann has requested a further consultation be carried out.
