Standish Voice is a community group who have prepared a neighbourhood plan for Standish. The group was officially designated as the Neighbourhood Forum for Standish in May 2015 and has since been redesignated until 14th May 2025.
Neighbourhood Plan agreed at Referendum. Following a Neighbourhood Referendum on 18th July 2019, the Standish Neighbourhood Plan is now part of the development plan for the borough. This means that all planning applications within the Standish Neighbourhood Area need to agree with the plan, subject to other considerations.
