Parish Plan 2

Parish Plan 2 Update - June 2016 

A draft response to the SNC Local Plan part 2A Consultation was prepared on the SNC interactive questionnaire.  There are 43 questions; the process does not require an answer to all but the draft included a response for each one.  Several critical questions required consultation with the local community.

 

Following the open evenings on 19 and 26 May the Parish Council met to review the input and feedback and to consider recommendations. 

 

The recommendations from the sub-committee were tested and challenged by Parish Council with a particular emphasis on ensuring consistency across the three villages.  A number of changes to the draft response were requested.

 

It was agreed that the Parish Council's response to the SNC Local Plan part 2A should be sent to SNC on behalf of the Parish Council by Bob Illingworth, who is the registered person.

 

Extraordinary General Meeting June 2 - Minutes

 

Approved responses to the critical questions are shown below:

 

Settlement Heirarchy - questions 3 - 18

 

The SNC Sustainability Matrix currently shows Astcote, Eastcote and Pattishall scored separately with several errors.  The scoring has been corrected and an updated matrix sent to SNC as an attachment to the consultation response which indicates:

 

  • Services and facilities should be scored to represent the Parish as an entity, this would give a result of 78 points and a position circa 20 on the Settlements Heirarchy.
  • Superfast broadband should be added to the list of services and facilities in the very important band

 

Scale of Housing - questions 19 - 22

 

There are six options – alternate approaches to calculating the scale of housing for each settlement from now until 2029.  These were explained at the open evenings and all attendees given the opportunity to vote for their preferred option.

 

70% indicated Option 3

25% indicated Option 2

  5% indicated Option 6

 

The questionnaire response indicates:

  • Option 3 – 25 additional homes by 2029 distributed:

 

Astcote 6 (25%)

Eastcote 6 (25%)

Pattishall 13 (50%)

 

Note:  There are currently 11 developments/planning approvals in process, which reduce the numbers to Eastcote 5 and Pattishall 3 (For locations see proposed Confines Maps)

 

Special Landscape Areas - question 36

 

The questionnaire response indicates:

 

  • The parish would like the open countryside between the three villages considered as a special landscape area.  Pattishall Parish includes three villages and three hamlets, separated by open countryside.  A brook runs through the valley, which provides attractive views and is crossed by historic footpaths linking the settlements.  This open countryside is a very distinct, characteristic of the Parish much appreciated by residents for its recreational value and for its contribution to a rural lifestyle.  Protecting this rural asset is one of the key principles of our Vision for the Parish.

 

Confines review and re-establishment question 41

 

The questionnaire response indicates:

 

  • Pattishall Parish - we have tidied up the confines to boundaries on the ground (represented by blue lines) and included additional infill development land to meet the housing needs of the Parish based on Option 3 (represented by red lines). (See proposed Confines Maps)
  • Proposed Designated Green Spaces are also shown on the maps

 

The maps below are taken from the SNC Consultation Documents pack and have been overlayed with proposed changes to the Confines.  This is essentially to tidy up or correct existing boundaries on the ground.  For example:  to include Malus Field and a part of Shoemaker that was shown outside the current confines. (Represented by blue lines).  Limited infill development are represented by redlines. 

 

Development/approvals/potential approvals are shown as numbers in circles

 

The proposed maps, which will be sent to SNC as an attachment to the consultation response, can be viewed below:

Parish Plan update February 2013

 

 

The introduction of new legislation – the Localism Bill - invites ‘neighbourhoods’ to produce plans that incorporate resident’s views on how their neighbourhood should be developed.

 

The Parish Council decided to support this new initiative and has set up a steering group to guide and progress the process.

 

PP2 Steering Group

 

John Woollett (Astcote)*                     Louise Wyman (Eastcote)

Rachel Gardener (Eastcote)*              David Edge (Eastcote)

Robert Hart (Pattishall)*                     Josie Bateman (Astcote)

                                                        Bob Illingworth (Pattishall)

 

*Parish Councillor

 

Although the current Parish Plan has achieved most of its goals the process is now more than five years old.  The introduction of the new legislation together with the requirement to identify current needs suggests now is a good time to go back to the community with a new questionnaire.  The resulting feedback can then form the basis of an updated Parish Plan - PP2, with local environment as a critical area of focus.

 

Advice received from South Northants Council suggests we should consider an environmental assessment including a review of the village confines, identifying areas of important green space and gathering potential housing needs for the next 15 years. When development is planned it should be carried out such that it is in harmony with its setting and contributes to the conservation and, where possible, enhancement of the local environment.  The current Village Design Statements are a useful start point but they were prepared some years ago and could usefully be updated.

 

The new steering group has met to begin mapping out the process for PP2 and the approach for consultation with the community.  An Open Forum will be planned ahead of the new questionnaire and regular updates will be included in Around Pattishall and on the Parish website.
