RESIDENTS are being given the chance to help shape the future of their Chester neighbourhood over the next 10 years. A draft Neighbourhood Development Plan for Upton, Bache and Moston has been drawn up by a team of parish councillors and local residents on behalf of Upton by Chester & District Parish Council. From Monday, February 8 until March 22, they are asking for comments from the public on their proposals. Neighbourhood Plans give local communities the chance to influence which planning applications in their area will be approved, and which will be refused. They have to be taken into account by planning officers and councillors when these decisions are made.
