The Parish Council resolved to create a Neighbourhood Plan for the whole of the parish of Little Bealings at its meeting on 3 July 2023. East Suffolk Council has approved this as the designated area for the Plan and the Council has appointed Places4People Planning Consultancy for the production of the Plan.

Three Councillors have met with ESC policy planners and formed a Focus Group to work on the Plan. 

A well attended drop in event on 11 November 2023 displayed information boards for residents on what a Neighbourhood Plan can achieve for the parish, and saw volunteers stepping forward to join a Neighbourhood Plan Working Group, and to offer to help in other ways. The Working Group of three parish councillors and four residents will take work on the Plan forward during 2024.
