NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
Potential housing sites…….
Following the public meeting on 26 March 2012 the Council’s Neighbourhood Plan Working Party has agreed to publish the long-list of housing sites currently being proposed by others. Please go to our NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN section for the details.

The Parish Council wants the help of all those who live and work in the area to set out its long-term vision for the local area. With your help we are hoping to plan for the next 20 years; for new housing, new businesses, and new amenities. We want to decide on those things that the local community should preserve and those things which it wants to change for the better.

Over the next few months we shall be asking questions and listening to ideas about the future; through surveys and public meetings, and by encouraging everyone to let us know their views by letter, email and questionnaires. Questions like:
•Countryside + wildlife: How should we preserve it ? Which areas are most important and why?
•New housing: How much? What type? How quickly? Where? For which people?
•Employment: What businesses should we encourage? How? Where?
•Amenities : Are there sports and leisure places that we can make better, or add to ? Are there local services such as schools and health centres which need to change ?
• Transport: What will change over the next 20 years? How can we adapt to it?

Please look out for our newsletters which are coming through your door in the next few days, and go to the Neighbourhood Plan section of this website.

Whether you are a resident, newcomer or visitor to the parish, we hope you will find the details within interesting, informative, useful and easy to access. It is the aim of the Parish Council to provide a full range of information to benefit all members of the community, and to this end we welcome your news and views - don't hesitate to contact us. The site is organised into three menu sections:

  • The Parish
    In which the pages describe the principal historical and geographical details about the parish together with information about open spaces and recreational amenities.
     
  • The Parishioners
    In which the pages show current news and events, including the Parish Council Village Voice newsletter each month, information on the activities of groups and societies, details of local shops and businesses (note: you can use the following links to automatically add details of your own society or business to this website). Planning applications can be accessed here. There are additional links provided to other parish or district related websites.
     
  • The Parish Council
    In which the pages cover all aspects of the council's work, responsibilities, powers and conduct.

The Quality Parish Council scheme QC 12-03-00025 is a national recognition of quality of service provided by the Parish Council.
