  • UPDATE ON PARISH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION

    Last December the Parish Council held a consultation, asking for your opinion on potential sites for future development in the Parish. We received many detailed and thoughtful responses, and our Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is currently analysing your comments and incorporating them as we prepare the next stage of the report.

    Thank you to all who returned the recent questionnaire; we ask that all Parishioners look out for another document in your letterbox shortly which will be the draft Neighbourhood Plan.
