A summary of the planning process

The following was included in the April Parish Newsletter by Wilson Designer Homes:

After a meeting with the Parish Council and discussions with local residents who have made direct contact, it has became very clear that greater understanding of the planning process and of the opportunity for public engagement is required. The attached information graphic has been prepared to show our commitment to the consultation process and where we are within it. We hope this provides some reassurance that the Steep community will have the opportunity to be involved in the proposals for the housing on the Steep In Need field.

The next stage will see us producing some illustrative layout options which will be issued to the Parish Council, to working groups and to anyone who would like to be involved. The feedback received will help us to identify a preferred approach, that we hope will represent views from across the village. A public consultation event will then follow, based on this preferred approach.
