The design of new residential development is always a concern for local residents, so a new Design Codes and Guidelines booklet has been created to accompany the Neighbourhood Plan. You can find out more by following this link: Design Code

Grant aid for the Neighbourhood Plan
Grant aid worth over £5500 was awarded in autumn 2023 by the Locality organisation, working on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities. The grant will cover the work needed in the 2023/2024 year to bring the new Plan forward, with more grant expected in 2024/2025.
The Parish was also awarded a ‘Technical Support Package’ from Locality which will cover the creation of a professional local Design Guide to help ensure that any new housing development in the area is of a high standard.
New Community Survey coming in spring 2024
It is some time since the views of the Parish’s community were surveyed for the Neighbourhood Plan, so a new survey is due to be held very soon.
The NDP Steering Group are developing a survey form covering issues such as climate change, housing needs, business and jobs, the natural and built environments, heritage and community facilities.
When the survey is launched it will be available on-line and in print form, and all households will be invited to take part. Two ‘drop-in’ sessions, where you can find out more about the Plan and talk to a member of the Steering Group, will be held.
More news about the survey will come out soon!
