Neighbourhood Plan draft objectives

Over the past eleven months, the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group has carried out research into many aspects of our community, produced a questionnaire and analysed the results. This information has allowed us to get a good idea of what the community wants to achieve over the coming years.

We have identified four high level objectives.

1. Sustain our community

2. Meet our local housing needs

3. Preserve the character of our community

4. Protect and enhance our environment

Each of these objectives has been broken down into more detailed objectives, describing WHAT we want to achieve, and WHY. We have also taken ideas and data from the questionnaire to start to describe HOW we *might* achieve these objectives.

There are two phases to the neighbourhood planning process; Scoping and Delivery. Scoping is all about identifying the objectives (WHAT and WHY) and we are nearing the end of this phase. Delivery is where we identify HOW we will achieve them as a set of planning policies and projects.

In January, we are holding four public meetings at different times and days of the week to give as many people as possible a chance to participate. At these meetings we want your feedback and ideas.
