Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Plan

Overview

The Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Area was designated by Bassetlaw District Council on 4 March 2021, alongside the designation of Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Planning Group as the associated Neighbourhood Forum for the area. The Neighbourhood Area was designated as a business area, in recognition of the proportion of business interests. A modification to the Neighbourhood Area, extending the boundary to incorporate the full extent of Bridgegate and environs, was approved by Bassetlaw District Council on 23 September 2021. 

The Neighbourhood Plan was formally adopted by the District Council following successful residential and business referendums held on 14 November 2024. The Neighbourhood Plan now forms part of the statutory Local Development Plan, alongside the Bassetlaw Local Plan, and should be used when either applying for planning permission or determining planning applications within the Retford Town Centre Neighbourhood Area.
