The
Neighbourhood Plan may appear to have been very quiet but it hasn’t gone
away. We are in the process of analysing
the views and information received, doing further research, and drafting the
various sections of the document – including potential policies, goals and
aspirations. For example (potentially):
identifying the brownfield sites and prioritising them for development (policy;
Built Environment & Housing); aiming for services offices that will act as
a hub for the business community(goal; Local Economy & Employment); more
intercity trains stopping at Belper (aspiration; Transport & Travel). We will be presenting them to businesses,
organisations, interest groups and the public in the Summer. Look out for the publicity because we are
aiming to publish the first complete draft document during May/June.
If you have not had a
questionnaire but would like one, please e-mail your address to c89blake@btinternet.com. We are particularly keen to have responses
from businesses, of whatever type, based on the outskirts of the Belper civic
parish. The boundary of Belper civil
parish is roughly Belper Lane End, Broadholm, Openwoodgate, Bargate, Makeney,
The Chevin, Blackbrook, including the agricultural areas.
Local Economy & Employment - Questionnaire
There
is still a lot of work to be done on the Neighbourhood Plan. Critical to the topic of
Local Economy & Employment is the responses to the Business Questionnaire,
and the final date for their return is 24th
February 2017. We request that you kindly post or deliver any
outstanding completed questionnaires to NP4B, 21 Derby Road, (opposite Goods
Road), Belper, DE56.1UU.
