Neighbourhood Plan

The Parish Councillors agreed unanimously to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan.  Some of the advantages of Rotherfield Greys having a Neighbourhood Plan include:

• Enabling the community to protect important features (heritage, green spaces, public views, character).
• Enabling the community to play a stronger role in shaping the areas you live/work in.
• Enabling the community to address local needs (local housing needs, needs for recreation space, need for employment facilities).
• More CIL money is available to the community when a neighbourhood plan is in place.
• It can help to bring communities together.
• Can help to build a better relationship between the district and parish.

This is a relatively straight forward process. with lots of help and advice available from SODC.  if you would like to get involved in protecting the parish and have a say in how the area will look in the future, please get in touch.

Ideally,  one or two representatives from each area of the Parish will volunteer to make this happen. Please contact clerk@rotherfieldparishcouncil.gov.uk for more information or see the SODC NHP website.
