Edington Local Development Plan and Neighbourhood Plan

A local development plan will identify the key issues that the villagers consider to be important by initially sending all households in the village a brief questionnaire from this the main questionnaire will be produced that will seek further information on these areas.

The local development plan will only be produced if at least 50% of the village households who complete the initial questionnaire are in agreement that they wish one to be produced. Update plan produced.

As part of the initial survey we asked people to indicate if they would be willing to participate in the construction of the LDP. There was then an initial meeting with those interested to determine the best way forward.

The initial tasks to be undertaken were identified, the areas of the village that we wished to base the plan upon and the holding of a public meeting when we sought the views of the village as to what they considered to be the issues (some of this information will already have been collected from the initial questionnaire).  When the issues had been clearly identified we created a number of focus groups each of which concentrated on specific issues identified by the village and these then contributed to creating a detailed survey to be put to the village.

The survey was completed the task of writing the Local Development Plan commenced.

Following the meeting in October we formed six groups to investigate further the areas of concern.

The six areas were:-

Amenities and facilities

Business and employment

Environment including footpaths

Highways, traffic and transport

Housing

Social well being

 

The minutes of the groups meetings can be found on the LDP documents page.
