Public Consultations

Results of Public Engagement

Following a survey, stakeholder discussions and public "drop in" sessions in late 2022, the 'steering group’ created draft proposals for the new Neighbourhood Plan.

Work to date comprises:

1. Defining the proposed usage of land originally set aside for a new school and doctors surgery.

2. Creating a draft vision and topics for the new Neighbourhood Plan.

New Neighbourhood Plan

Vision

To ensure that the parish becomes more sustainable, environmentally aware, and responsive to climate change, placing this at the heart of the New Neighbourhood Plan. To seek to provide housing for local people and enable the enhancement of services and facilities appropriate for a modern rural parish sustaining its existing strong community spirit. To support improved and safer pedestrian and cycle connections throughout the village including to the schools and station, and support initiatives to deliver better parking facilities. To continue to retain the rural character and setting of the parish, with the minimum extension of the settlement boundary and intrusion on the existing surrounding green and agricultural space.
