What
is a Parish Plan?
Parish
Plans set out a vision
for how the community wants to develop, and identifies the action needed to
achieve it. They are “holistic” or comprehensive in scope. A Parish Plan can include everything that is relevant to the people who live
and work in the community, from employment and playgrounds to the design of new
buildings and protection of hedges and ponds. They can include any social,
environmental or economic issues. It is up to the community to decide, what
is important.
Parish
Plans have the potential to influence a wide range of
organisations
and processes, which affect the lives of rural communities. They should
complement and help deliver local planning policies and frameworks but they
cannot override adopted planning policy. They should influence local housing and
land management strategies. They should also contribute to the way local
services are managed and
delivered. A
Parish Plan is a statement of how the community sees itself developing over the
next few years. It:
•
reflects
the views of all sections of the community;
•
identifies
which features and local characteristics people value;
•
identifies
local problems and opportunities;
•
spells
out how residents want the community to develop in the future;
•
prepares
a plan of action to achieve this vision. To learn more about Parish Plans click here To see the progress of the preparation of the Althorne Parish Plan select the 'Progress' tab in the left column.
