The current Plan was based on extensive engagement and consultation with the local community over a period of several years. The main steps in the evolution of the Plan are outlined below:
| Year | Step |
|---|---|
| 2011 | Market Bosworth Parish Council (MBPC) agreed to be a frontrunner for the newly announced government Neighbourhood Planning opportunity. |
| 2012 | MBPC requested volunteers to form a working group to work with them to develop a Neighbourhood Plan based on community input. |
| 2012 | Several public engagement events, stakeholder events, open days and consultations took place at which hundreds of residents shared their views. |
| 2013 | Building on the community input the Vision Aims and Objectives for the plan took shape, providing a context for the policies and aspirations. |
| 2014 | The draft plan was put out to formal consultation and supported. |
| 2015 | The final version was examined by an inspector who agreed it could go to referendum. The Plan was supported at referendum by 88% of voters. |
| 2020 | Following the production of an updated Housing Needs Assessment and an independent confirmation that the updated figure did not effect any of the Plan policies, HBBC issued a formal update to the Plan to ensure that it remains up to date. |
