The neighbourhood plan will be a really important document for us. It will set how land is used in the future and will also contain planning policies that will be used to help determine planning applications that are submitted here.
Listen to our latest podcast to find out more about the Neighbourhood Plan on Spotify – or search for ‘Borehamwood Tales’ on Apple, Google or Amazon.
It’s vital therefore that we get as much input from the local community as possible. This page will include details of up coming events and activities that you can get involved in, as well as information about what has already happened. Please contact us to get involved or to find out more.

Chatter Tables (December 2022) – We went along to the Monday afternoon social group to talk about the neighbourhood plan and get some feedback from those present about what sort of issues we need to be tackling. The group, which is organised by Leecliffe Big Local, aims to help people in Borehamwood to connect to their community over a cup of tea, cake and a chat with fellow residents. It runs every Monday 13:30 – 15:00 for FREE at St Michael’s and All Angels Church, Brook Road, WD6 5EQ and is open to everyone!
Youth Council (ongoing) – We have been speaking to the Youth Council, who helped us prepare the Youth Survey. They are also leading on some other projects locally, including a walking and cycling project, and we will be making sure that their findings are included with the neighbourhood plan.
