8th August 2023


This is a wholly new Neighbourhood Plan and not a ‘revival’ of the previous draft Plan, which was aborted in February 2022 at Examination stage due to Water Neutrality issues.

Who will prepare the Neighbourhood Plan?


Colin Smith Planning Ltd has been instructed to undertake the majority of the work to prepare the Neighbourhood Plan. Colin Smith Planning Ltd is familiar with the parish area, issues regarding Water Neutrality, and many of the policies and background evidence to be reviewed / re-worked / updated.

The consultancy firm will work alongside additional expert support offered via the Government grant system for 'technical Neighbourhood Plans'.

Decisions will be made by the full Council.

Each full Parish Council meeting will have a standing agenda item to consider the progress of the Neighbourhood Plan. Meetings of the Parish Council are held in public, and you are most welcome to attend - either in person, or remotely via zoom.

Agendas and minutes are published on the website; either on the homepage or via the Meeting Agenda and Minutes page.

Communities take a proactive approach in preparing a Neighbourhood Plan. Throughout the process there will be various public consultations and events to ensure everyone has provided their views and the Neighbourhood Plan represents the parish's shared vision for how it should develop over the coming years in ways that meet identified local needs.

The final Neighbourhood Plan must be made with the consent of the community via a referendum.


What will it cost?


The total maximum cost to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan is likely to be approximately £22,050.

Some of this cost is met from Government grant funding (about 80%); the remaining 20% is borne by the Parish Council's Precept.
