- Looking back, we have had a very busy year (and a bit) and we are now firmly established as a Neighbourhood Forum. But no more on that here – I’ll leave the details to the Annual Report
- However I thought you might be interested to know the shape of the next 12 months or so. We have produced a project plan which, as you might expect, is almost continuously being reviewed and refined.
- The end result, of course, is the production of our Neighbourhood Plan. And you may be wondering when you can expect to see it completed.
- Given the scope of our Area contains both the HS2 Growth area and the Barracks, you can appreciate this will take time. [On average, Neighbourhood Plans take circa 2 years before they are ‘made’ i.e. adopted by the council]
- Rough timetable from our current project plan is as follows:
- Spring 2018:
- Community engagement: finish gathering ideas/input
- Complete evidence gathering e.g. traffic analysis etc
- Summer 2018:
- Draft policies and plan produced
- Autumn 2018:
- Forum consults on draft Plan: obtains feedback and refines
- Plan submitted to Broxtowe Council
- Independent Examiner appointed
- Spring 2019:
- Council’s consultation of Plan (circa 8 weeks), followed by…
- Independent examination (circa 6 weeks)
- Plan modified if necessary
- Summer 2019:
- Referendum: all residents in the Area will have a vote
- If approved – Plan is then ‘made’.
- Spring 2018:
Looking forward to 2018 & beyond
