Extract from Newark and Sherwood District Council Policies Map.

The meeting will be held at Newark and Sherwood District Council, Castle House, Great North Road, Newark NG24 1BY on 30 September 2025 between 6pm to 8pm.

The Development Consultation Forum is a meeting held in public, where a developer can explain proposals directly to Councillors and the public at an early stage, prior to a decision being made on a planning application, about a development site. The process is designed to assist the developer to deal properly with important issues and to reduce delay and frustration on everyone’s part in the formal planning process.

Anyone can attend and listen, however, only those invited to speak by the Chairman will be able to raise issues at the Development Consultation Forum.  Further details regarding Development Consultation Forum's are available on our website at: Our pre application service.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the meeting, listen to the presentation from the developer and views of others.  Written comments to officers can be made who will forward any comments received to developers and take account of any points made in any subsequent discussions about the proposal, if you are not able to ask a question on the evening. In any event, the Development Consultation Forum will not affect any rights to make representations when a formal planning application is submitted.

Should you wish to attend, please confirm by email to planning@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk, including your name and  ‘Land off Lower Kirklington Road, Southwell’ in the subject line.
