Peterborough City Council is Ufford’s local planning authority and all decisions are made there.
Ufford Parish Council is consulted on relevant planning issues and makes comments to the planning department after discussion at a Parish Council Meeting. Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings to make their views known but only comments submitted direct to Peterborough City Council can be considered in the planning decision.
Individual planning applications
All applications, decisions and amendments can be found on Peterborough City Council’s planning portal. Add ‘Ufford’ to the search box to find all applications relating to properties in the parish: https://planpa.peterborough.gov.uk/online-applications//
Peterborough Local Plan
Peterborough City Council is working on a new Local Plan, which will set out how the city and surrounding areas should grow and develop over the next 15–20 years. The Local Plan will guide decisions on new housing, jobs, infrastructure, and environmental protection.

Ufford Parish Council’s Role
Ufford Parish Council is following the development of the new Local Plan closely to ensure that the interests of our village are fully considered. While we recognise the need for sustainable growth across the Peterborough area, we are committed to making sure that any future development in and around Ufford is appropriate, proportionate, and in keeping with the character of our village.
We will continue to engage with the process and represent the views of our community.
