Neighbourhood Plan progress report and discussion

The Neighbourhood Plan will be a vital document in controlling the future development of the village:

• The extent, type and location of new building
• The improvements needed to infrastructure and services
• Maintaining the character of the village

This requires full participation from residents. Many thanks to everyone who completed the Housing Needs Survey before Christmas. We had a response rate of over 62%, which is excellent.

On 28th February the results of both the Survey and the Landscape Appraisal will be presented. You can see and hear the village’s views about future development, and also learn what impact Blewbury’s unique local landscape could have on future planning decisions. We will also give an update on the wider progress of the Neighbourhood Plan.

All of this will be on display throughout the afternoon. But, most important of all, we need your views on progress and on the next stages. You can make your views heard at either of the two presentation sessions, at 2.30 pm and 6.00 pm.

The programme on 28 February will be as follows:

2.00 pm – 7.00 pm:    Boards on display showing results
2.30 pm:    First panel discussion and Q&A session
6.00 pm:    Second panel discussion and Q&A session

The two panel discussions will have the same format so no need to attend both.

Tea and biscuits will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!
