PORINGLAND NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
|
"Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area."

Poringland Parish Council is developing a Neighbourhood Plan. This is a community project which allows you, the residents of Poringland, to decide what you want your village to look like in years to come. Neighbourhood Planning cannot stop development - but it can make a statutory plan which must be taken into account when any planning application - large or small - is considered.
The process will formally begin in October 2017, and we will be giving regular updates through this website; social media; email; newsletters; and direct mailings. There will be regular public consultations to help us develop the right policies and Plan. We will make sure you know where we are in the process. And ultimately, you will have your say about whether you accept the Plan through a referendum.
This is a community project. And we want you on board. You don't have to have any planning expertise, you just need to be passionate about Poringland, and able to commit to one meeting per month. The administrative work will be carried out by staff employed by the Parish Council, and we will be engaging a consultant to make sure that our policies are well written using planning terminology.
Interested? Contact the Parish Clerk, Catherine Moore, clerk@poringlandparishcouncil.gov.uk to put your name forward for this exciting chance to shape the future of your village. Want more information? Visit https://www.gov.uk/guidance/neighbourhood-planning--2

The Designated Neighbourhood Area sits only within the parish boundary of Poringland and does not include Framingham Earl, Stoke Holy Cross or Caistor St Edmund. In 2013 and again in 2015 all of the parishes carefully considered whether they wished to undertake a joint Neighbourhood Plan, with the decision made that this would not be progressed. Poringland Parish Council is keen to undertake a plan in order to better influence the planning process, and has decided to go ahead alone. While residents of Framingham Earl, Stoke Holy Cross and Caistor St Edmund are welcome to participate in the consultation process, any comments relating specifically to areas outside of the Poringland parish boundaries cannot be included, and residents of those parishes will not be entitled to a vote in the referendum. The map across shows the parish boundaries, and further detailed information on the parish boundaries is available from the Parish Clerk.
