THE MAP
October 2017 Up-
As a result of your responses to the draft vision statement in the First Questionnaire, the Vision for the Neighbourhood Plan has been expanded as follows:
THE VISION
“The Wybunbury Parishes will remain distinct, rural communities and the tranquil setting of the area will be maintained. This rural and individual character will be acknowledged by the adoption of appropriate building styles, choice of local materials, appropriate densities and levels of green infrastructure which reflect and enhance the local character.
Moving forward we want to maintain the Wybunbury Parishes as thriving local and independent communities. We will ensure their long-
THE AIMS
The Wybunbury Combined Parishes Neighbourhood Plan needs to be aspirational but also realistic!
In order to achieve the Vision and in response to the issues residents have raised in the First Consultation and Five-
(1) Any new homes in the area should respond positively to identified housing needs
(2) The Open Countryside between settlements should be protected to maintain the character and integrity of each of the settlements in the Neighbourhood Plan area.
(3) The impact of traffic on the local communities should be reduced.
(4) Any new development should be supported by appropriate infrastructure.
(5) Access to the countryside is maintained and improved, including the connectivity between settlements and the surrounding area by footpaths and cycleways.
(6) The natural and built environment of the parishes, including their landscape, built heritage, archaeological sites and wildlife habitats are protected and enhanced.
(7) Businesses are supported and new enterprises appropriate to the character of the area will be encouraged.
(8) To keep housing development small in scale, designed to a high quality which is sustainable and complimentary to the character of the immediate area.
October 2018 Up-
The neighbourhood plan steering group has continued over the course of 2018 to complete the following:
(1) To formulate neighbourhood plan policies based on the intelligence gathered from the Consultation Activities of 2017 and further public engagement events at the 2018 Fig Pie Wakes and our Local Businesses Questionnaire.
(2) Cheshire Wildlife Trust have submitted their ‘Natural Landscape Report’ which has been essential in developing our ecology and environment policies.
(3) In partnership with the Parish Councils and utilising the data accumulated by the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, we submitted a Petition to the HS2a Select Committee in June 2018 seeking mitigation against construction traffic using our rural highways network. A ‘Letter of Assurance’ has been issued confirming HS2 Ltd’s commitment to minimising the impact of construction traffic. This will be reviewed by the Wybunbury Combined Parishes as these assurances are committed to the second phase of the Hybrid Bill in late Autumn 2018.
(4) Further evidence has been collated in relation to:
i) Superfast Broadband Provision and coverage within the Neighbourhood Plan Area (See document library)
ii) The temporary and permanent impact of HS2a (Area CA5) on Public Rights of Way (PROW) and Bridleways (BW) throughout the Neighbourhood Plan Area. (See document Library).
iii) Further neighbourhood plan policy work is underway regarding settlement boundaries and ‘Local Green Gaps’ in line with the recent consultation held by Cheshire East Council (First Draft of the Site Allocations and Development Policies Document: August 2018).
iv) Submission of the Draft Neighbourhood Plan to Cheshire East Council and for Public Consultation (Regulation 14) is proposed for January 2019.
