Please read
and action – we need your help
Hello -
This July concerns at large-scale housing numbers put
forward by Lancaster Council, and the listing of several big potential sites in
Wray, were discussed at a villagers’ meeting.
One action coming out of this was the setting up of a sub-group of the
Parish Council to produce a Neighbourhood Plan.
Neighbourhood Plans were introduced in 2011, and hundreds
are underway or completed – but we are the first ones to start one here. Neighbourhood Plans are different because
they have legal status. They are voted
on by you, and if supported actually become part of the Council’s Planning
policies.
Neighbourhood Plans focus on local priorities for the future
use of land. Producing one involves the
collection of local data, and the Council has to arrange formal consultations
and an examination of our Plan.
We will be organising a community survey later this year,
but we would like to get some quick views from you first:-
·
We have thought about the options for the
Neighbourhood Plan boundary, and we want to know if you agree with our
proposal.
·
We have thought about local groups, and the ways
we have to consult with you easily, but we want to know if we have forgotten
anything!
·
And to help us write some draft aims and
objectives for the Plan, we have looked at what you said before and we want to
know if you still feel this way?
We have put the boundary, consultation list, and summary of
past concerns up in the village – at the institute. They are also on the new Wray Neighbourhood
Planning website. To access this go on
the Wray Village site, and click on Wray Neighbourhood Planning on the left-hand
side (under ‘groups’).
On the back of this letter are 6 quick questions. Please let us know what you think, then post
the letter back to us by the 27th October (boxes are in the institute and the Post Officw)
or give it to one of the Neighbourhood Planning group when you see us.
We will keep the boards and website up-to-date, do a piece
in the Wrayly Mail each month, and be in touch again soon.
Thank you for your time and your help.
