Appleton Thorn has developed its own Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP). Officially titled Appleton Parish Thorn Ward NDP, it is the first to be developed in Warrington.

A group of Appleton Thorn residents worked with Appleton Parish Council to ensure we get a balanced and thorough document.

The plan, now approved and accepted by Warrington Borough Council, governs the form and type of development that can take place within the Thorn Ward until 2027.

The process of developing a NDP involves a number of stages, described on the NDP Process page.

The final version of the NDP may be found on the Appleton Parish Council website.
