Colin James Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 Future Development Of Belmont Rural What's this all about then? Nice to see our money being spent on fancy glossy flyers advertising the BRPC's AGM...
Aylestone Voice Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Colin, What it is about is the Parish Council are going to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan - this is the local community deciding the planning policies for their own area. Obviously they are asking the community to be involved and say how they want the Parish to develop in the future. But don't worry there would be a referendum at the end of it so if the locals don't like what is in it they can vote it down.

twowheelsgood Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Neighbourhood Plan's are tied into and part of the Council's (slowly) emerging Core Strategy - now 3 years late and counting. It is debatable as to whether they will have any effectiveness when the over-arching National Planning Policy Framework has a sweeping 'in favour of sustainable development' approach.
Glenda Powell Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Colin, I would urge everyone living in Belmont to attend this meeting, BRPC has a NDP steering group for more information see minutes of the meeting for 3rd April 2014 minute 37/14 item D. Remember as of 7th May 2015 next general election the ward boundaries change and BRPC will become a ward in its own right with just one Herefordshire councillor to represent you as well as the parish council.who will make all decisions for that ward.Therefore if you want a voice on what happens you should attend the meeting.
M. Preece Posted May 17, 2014 Report Posted May 17, 2014 I am hoping to attend this meeting but we are in Glasgow that week with family and return back home on the 29th, so not sure we will be back in time but we will go along if we can make it.
