Residents should have received a flyer from the Parish Council (PC) asking for your support for the addition of Local Green Spaces (LGS) to the Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP).
The flyers have been hand delivered to all properties in the village. If you have not got one, please check your letter box to make sure it isn’t still there.
Nineteen areas have been identified that the PC feels are important to the village, but it may have missed one that is important to you. If so, add it to the back of the flyer so that it can be included in the NDP.
In order to qualify for inclusion LGS must be:
Listing LGS is important as it ensures that, like Green Belt, development on them will only be supported in very special circumstances.
Once you have indicated your support and added any areas that may have been missed, add your name and address to the back of the flyer and then drop it off to Cllr Mark Thompson at 28 Wessex Way, or alternatively if it is more convenient for you, to your nearest Parish Councillor, before the end of Saturday 30th May.
It is important that the flyers are completed and returned by the deadline so that they evidence local support.
