Creating the Neighbourhood Plan requires input for the community. The following consultations are, or have, occurred – thanks for responding to all the following events. Below are details of all the consultations and where the outcome of that consultation can be found.
There are a number of questions/issues raised through all these consultations that are not necessarily within the scope of the Neighbourhood Plan scope, so we have provided some feedback on those issues.
UPCOMING – Consultation on the “Aims” of the Neighbourhood Plan
The Steering Group have drafted a “Vision” and “Aims” of the Neighbourhood Plan. A consultation on these will be launched in June 2026. Details are in the Village Magazine. A drop in session is occurring in the Village Hall on Saturday 6th June between 10:00 and 15:00. The survey will be on line and a [link] will be published here at the end of May. Paper copies will be available at the drop-in session or from the library.
Business Survey
The business survey was launched in Feb 2026 and closed in March 2026. The survey was delivered to all the businesses identified in Toddington parish, it was highlighted in the village magazine. The conclusions are being summarised and will be published on the Economy and Infrastructure page
Green Infrastructure Drop in Session

Housing Survey
The housing survey was launched in Oct 2025 with a closing date of 8th Nov 2025. The survey was run independently by BRCC. More details and the report were published in April 2026 on the Housing page.
Launch Consultation
We launched our engagement at some drop in sessions in June & July 2025 at the Wilkinson Hall. In the summer of 2025 we also had a stand at the Fete on the green and the football event at the Luton Road recreation ground. At all these events we received lots of comments.
Young Peoples report
Engaging with young people in the village is difficult. We are grateful for the assistance of Parkfields School who have run sessions and generated a report giving the views of young people.
Engagement with Clubs and Societies
Over the past year the Steering Group have engaged with many of the organisations within the village, all these comments have fed into the development of the Neighbourhood Plan. If your group has further views them please let us know or ask to meet to discuss. Contact
