As part of the process of developing the Neighbourhood Plan, the Neighbourhood Planning Team have considered the merits of making site allocations for development. Particular areas that the Neighbourhood Plan is looking to address are housing, commercial development, allotments and leisure and/or recreational facilities.
The Neighbourhood Planning Team along with its professional partners have now completed the process of assessing those sites that have been submitted for considered for allocation for development in the Neighbourhood Plan.
All sites that came forwarded were expected to: state what use the land could to be considered for; demonstrate how the site could help to achieve the draft objectives of the emerging Neighbourhood Plan; detail any restrictions or covenants currently placed upon the land in question.
The Neighbourhood Plan can only propose to allocate sites if they are demonstrably deliverable. Any submission does not guarantee allocation or that a site’s prospects of ultimately gaining planning permission will be improved.
The results of the Public Consultation (following the public meeting of 17 March 2016 and the public consultation taking place between 2nd and 17th April 2016) during which residents were asked to weight criteria in terms of vital, desirable and unimportant can be seen to the left of this page.
These comments have been passed onto and will form part of the assessment that is being carried out on the sites submitted under the Expression of Interest in Sites to be considered for future development.
