VILLAGE CHARACTER ASSESSMENT

Here you can download the documents that have been prepared by our consultant, Lucy Batchelor-Wylam following her assessment of village character, and the village design guide which we prepared jointly with Lucy.
All four of these reports will help strengthen the Neighbourhood Plan.
They have been formally adopted by our Parish Council, and so are deemed "material considerations" in planning terms, and so must be taken into account by those making decisions on planning applications in the Parish.
Additionally they provide an excellent basis for anyone to assess planning applications from a landscape or design perspective, and will be referred to by the independent consultants who are undertaking site assessments for us as part of the site allocation process.
