​THE PLAN'S VISION: To preserve and enhance Saham Toney's distinct and tranquil rural character whilst ensuring village life is peaceful and fulfilling for all residents. To promote gradually implemented, sustainable development, of a scale consistent with the Neighbourhood Area's development constraints; and to balance that with preservation of the area's richness of landscape, heritage, wildlife and community
​The vision is followed through in the Plan's policies, which aim to balance one group of policies supporting growth and development with a second group seeking to preserve and enhance the environment
ACHIEVING THAT BALANCE BY CORRECTLY APPLYING BOTH POLICY GROUPS IS THE CORE ETHOS OF THE PLAN
BY ACHIEVING THE BALANCE, WE BELIEVE OUR PLAN WILL RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING KEY BENEFITS FOR SAHAM TONEY:
  • ​THE RIGHT HOMES IN THE RIGHT PLACES
  • RETENTION & IMPROVEMENT OF OUR VILLAGE'S CHARACTER
  • THE MAINTENANCE OF A 'RURAL GAP' TO OUR NEIGHBOURING MARKET TOWN, WATTON
  • THE PROTECTION SAHAM TONEY'S UNIQUE HERITAGE
  • THE PRESERVATION OF OUR RICH & VARIED WILDLIFE
  • THE PREVENTION OF EXTRA FLOOD RISK RESULTING FROM NEW DEVELOPMENT
