Welcome to the website of the Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum
Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum was designated in 2017 with the aim of promoting the social, environmental, and economic well-being of the Whitburn area in South Tyneside. We are a formally recognised group led by local residents, dedicated to shaping the future of our community.
The Forum has the authority to develop a neighbourhood plan, which sets out legally binding rules that guide new developments in the Whitburn area. The Whitburn Neighbourhood Plan, adopted in 2022, is an important document that helps us ensure development meets the needs of local residents and preserves the unique character of Whitburn.
Learn more about the Whitburn Neighbourhood Forum, or read the Whitburn Neighbourhood Plan.

Council may need to restart local plan and build on more green belt

South Tyneside Council's rejection of the Local Plan could lead to higher housing targets under new government proposals, threatening Green Belt land. The revised National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) may require many more new homes each year. Act now by submitting your feedback to the NPPF consultation.
