On 7 September, the council cabinet approved the Whitburn Neighbourhood Plan to be formally made local planning policy. That means that the plan will now be used by the council when deciding planning applications in Whitburn. Before this, the council would only consider national policies and their own local development plan. But now Whitburn residents have set their own rules for development that are set around the village's special character and needs. This means that the community has a meaningful say in the future of Whitburn.
