Residents, businesses, and organisations are being encouraged to help shape the future of Doddington.

The effort is part of a community consultation led by Doddington Parish Council, seeking feedback on draft planning policies.

This represents a Regulation 14 (pre‑submission) consultation stage for the proposed Doddington Neighbourhood Plan.

The draft aims to outline how the village may grow and develop in the coming years.

Once adopted, such neighbourhood plans, which are community-led and prepared by parish councils, form part of the statutory development plan and are used alongside the Fenland Local Plan when planning decisions are made.

Presently, the draft plan, supporting evidence, and details of consultation events can be accessed on the Parish Council's website.

Fenland District Council is supporting the initiative to maximise participation, encouraging anyone invested in Doddington’s future to partake.

For those wishing to voice their insights, comments should be submitted by midnight on Monday 16 March 2026.

Residents can email their thoughts directly to Doddington Parish Council at cllr.ruthhopkins@doddingtonparishcouncil.gov.uk.

This consultation is an opportunity for locals to directly influence the development trajectory of their community.
