We’ve been very busy … we plan to share progress at an open meeting in the Spring

Based on the feedback from the opinion survey last year, the Steering Group been busy identifying/researching objectives & policies for inclusion in the NDP. Areas of investigation include future housing requirements and building for local needs, protecting the architectural character and distinctiveness of the village, identifying and protecting  'Important Village Views' 'Local Green Spaces' and 'Important Landscape Views', supporting future improvements to facilities such as the Pre-school, Village Hall and playing field, supporting farmers to use their land for food production and to care for wildlife and the surrounding landscape, supporting business and the local economy; creating a more environmentally sustainable future.

Our aim is to have prepared sufficient material for a display at the Village Hall during the Spring, when residents will be invited to attend and suggest improvements and additions. Our work is being supported by a professional planning consultant and by 'AECOM', a large infrastructure consulting firm who will produce a quantitative 'Housing Needs Assessment'.

If you can't wait until the Spring for an update and would like to know more, you are very welcome to attend our monthly meetings in the Village Hall - see the meetings calendar on the Steering Group Admin page accessed via the menu bar above for the date of the next  meeting.
