A Neighbourhood Plan for East Boldon
The East Boldon Neighbourhood Forum developed the Neighbourhood Plan for East Boldon (2021 to 2036).
It was formally accepted at Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Cabinet in December 2021 and will now form part of our legal Development Plan for South Tyneside.
This means that the East Boldon Neighbourhood Plan will be used to help decide planning applications in the designated East Boldon neighbourhood area.
