Gathering evidence
Please scroll down this page for links to evidence gathered to date.
Like all planning policies, a neighbourhood plan needs to be based on a clear understanding of the place it relates to. It needs to be backed by solid evidence. Surveys and public consultations form only a part of this. The Neighbourhood Plan team has already started gathering additional evidence to support policies which may be included in our Plan. This is a huge task and will take many months. If you have specialist knowledge you think might be helpful, please contact us. You can read more about the process here.
