The Westfield Neighbourhood Plan Working Group is putting out a plea to all who live and work in Westfield to help shape the future of the parish.
Why respond? The Neighbourhood Plan allows the local community to create a vision and planning policies for the use and development of land in Westfield. As an example, earlier consultations showed a demand for a Westfield Community Centre, which the Parish Council are now exploring further.
So the Neighbourhood Plan is crucial to enact your views on planning and development requirements. It will guide planning officers and councillors and will become a requirement for consideration in their decision- making. For example, where new homes, schools, shops and businesses can be built and what they should look like.
How to respond: Please contact Westfield Parish Council on: 01761 410669 or email at: [email protected] and offer to complete the consultation document, or even just the parts which interest you the most. We shall get the document to you and arrange to pick it up when you are ready. You can also look at it online at: www.westfieldparishcouncil.co.uk and email it back to the Council.
This really is your plan, so please do let them know your views so that the Working Group can ensure they get it right!
