NETHER ALDERLEY AND GREAT WARFORD RESIDENTS
The above parishes have decided to join forces to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for the future to keep up to date with recent legislation. The plan would be for the future benefit of the local area and all our residents. The plan would give people the opportunity to set out policies on the development and use of land in our parishes and neighbourhood. These plans become statutory documents that work alongside the Cheshire East Local Plan and are given due consideration in planning decisions. There is no legal requirement to produce a plan, but if we choose to do so it will become a legal document. If we do not develop a Neighbourhood Plan, then we have no input into decisions that Cheshire East could make on our behalf. An absence of our own policies could lead to decisions being taken that the parishes would not support and which may be harmful to our communities.
There are a range of issues that a plan may consider such as:
Sustainability and local growth
Environment: protection of the greenbelt, hedges open spaces etc.
Housing and development
Highways and transport
Community needs
We have invited members of the Cheshire East Neighbourhood Plan team, along with Ward Councillors to discuss the process of producing the Plan and we would like to invite you all to come along on:
Wednesday 18th January 2017
at
Nether Alderley Parish Hall – 7pm
Please do join us as it will be an excellent opportunity to learn what is involved with the plan, form an opinion as to whether as residents you wish us as Parish Councils to go ahead and produce a plan, and if you would like to become involved yourself as part of the Plan team.
We look forward to seeing you all.
Many thanks
