February 4th 2017

An event to discuss possible / potential policies for the Plan was held in the village hall with residents, Urban Imprint (our consultants), the Working Group and Parish Councillors attending. We finalised the Plan’s vision and objectives and had five groups covering possible requirements for topics on business and leisure, environment, housing, transport and infrastructure, design and heritage from the data gathered at the first analysis consultation and the questionnaire results and started to correlate with the strategic plan of Charnwood. The data is being collated and we will hold a further meeting to review the results in March.

We have received and reviewed a document outlining policy titles generated during the February consultation. This will be issued shortly. The target of the working group is to complete and issue a draft plan to the village for consultation by the end of April.
