Yateley, Darby Green and Frogmore Areas
The Yateley Parish is located in North East Hampshire. The parish includes the town of Yateley as well as the nearby districts of Darby Green and Frogmore.
The Yateley Parish is bounded to the north by the flood plain of the River Blackwater, much of which is occupied by the Yateley Lakes, which form a country park. The river also forms the boundary between Hampshire and Berkshire to the north.
The parish is bounded to the south by the A30 road. Between the road and the town are Yateley Commons Country Park and Blackbushe Airport.
The Neighbourhood Plan
The Yateley Town Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group are working hard to produce the plan to give the local community direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood, and shape the development and growth of their local area.
It came about as a result of the Localism Act of 2011. The plan will cover the period up to 2032 and will be an annex of the Hart District Council Local Plan.
The plan will be formulated around the following rules:
- Must be consistent with Local Authority’s Local Plan (which for Yateley is the Hart District Council Local Plan)
- Must be supported by evidence and consultation with the community
- Must conform to the legal terms of reference for a Neighbourhood Plan
- Must be approved by Government inspectors
- Must be agreed by public referendum
In support of the second item above, this website includes details of how you can submit your views. Take a look at the HAVE YOUR SAY PAGE in the Contact Us section.

The Neighbourhood Plan provides an additional layer of control over development decisions. It will protect against inappropriate, speculative development and build a community consensus on our vision and expectations for own town.
Our Neighbourhood Plan will complement and reinforce Hart DC’s Local Plan and form an annex to it.
