Neighbourhood Planning: First Forum and Parish Applications?

And hot on their heels are Faringdon in the Vale of White Horse vying to become the first parished area to be officially designated a neighbourhood planning area.

In the perfect start to the Easter Holiday Kirkwells provided training last night to a parish council on neighbourhood planning. And we left this particular village hall with the feeling that for many the key question is “is neighbourhood planning going to be worth all the effort?” After going through the process. Long, bureaucratic, and with some odd twists and turns. After investing all that time and possibly money (the other key question, of course, is where is this going to come from?). And after being told we are “in charge”, only to find this has checks and balances, one of which is you cannot “have less” – serious questions were being asked in the room about the value of … Continue reading
