Current position

In December 2019, Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council applied to Milton Keynes Council, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, to designate a Neighbourhood Plan Area for the Parish of Wolverton and Greenleys.

Under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) and Development Management Procedure (Amendment) Regulations 2016, there is no longer a requirement to publicise area designation applications if the area specified in the application encompasses the entire Parish area. In such cases, the Regulations state that designations must be made as soon as possible, once the Authority is satisfied that the application is valid and complete. This was the case with the Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council application.

Following a Neighbourhood Planning Officer decision on 8th January 2020, the area put forward by Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council in its Neighbourhood Plan Area Application has now been approved as a Neighbourhood Plan Area.

To comply with regulation 7 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, Milton Keynes Council is publicising the following details:

• the name of the Neighbourhood Area: Wolverton and Greenleys Neighbourhood Area
• the name of the relevant body who applied for designation: Wolverton and Greenleys Town Council
• a map of the designated area for Wolverton NP (PDF, 9.7MB) 
• the relevant Neighbourhood Planning Officer decision report and decision (PDF, 165KB)
