David Gluck and Sarah Chester met at 11am 17.7.17. The aim of the meeting was to progress the NHP work (which has not progressed much over the past few weeks due to the community shop opening). The notes below summarise the meeting earlier today.

Our evidence gathering phase is moving to completion.

David has the first piece of evidence, provided by Stuart Spensley on Amenities and Services for Church Fenton, he will add this to the draft Neighbourhood Plan (NHP) document and sent to Sarah for information / to show the way to add the detail to the document.

Sarah will gather evidence from the rest of the working group and collate all in the draft document. The aim is to collate in the NHP draft document and send to David for Monday 24.7.17 to allow him time to review and send back by 25.7.17 with any comments / areas where improvement / further information is required.

Sarah will then update with the relevant information and send back to David for 21.8.17

On Tuesday 22.8.17 we plan to hold a NHP meeting, where we discuss the document content and review the policies for the village. Once the working group / meeting members have agreed on policies we then push forward the consultation with the villagers / Parishioners.

Starting 23.8.17 we’ll creation of a leaflet and questionnaire for the Parishioners to advise progress made and ask for opinion on policies (timeline for survey deadline 15.9.17)

Once response from survey received the well formed draft NHP document will be created ready for submission to SDC (30.9.17)

SDC will undertake a Screening Environmental Assessment (SEA) this process can take up to six weeks.
Sarah to pre advise SDC that the NHP document will be submitted early October and also contact the agencies on behalf of SDC to progress this phase.

Once the SEA is completed we then are in a position to progress the Reg 14 before Christmas and are nearing the date for submitting the plan.
