25 June 2016 - Neighbourhood Planning
The formal application for Sutton Poyntz to be allowed to create a Neighbourhood Plan has been submitted to Weymouth & Portland Borough Council, who have now entered a consultation period before making their decision. The consultation closes on Friday 5 August, and anyone can make comments before this date.
Full information is available at https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/article/406403/Local-communities-working-on-neighbourhood-plans
and comments can be submitted via an online form available at that link.
A Steering Group has come together to write the plan, assuming W&PBC give permission to go ahead. It has already met twice, and will now meet regularly on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Information on this can be found on the village website, at http://suttonpoyntz.org.uk/neighbourhood. The Steering Group should be as representative as possible of the village both demographically and in terms of its range of opinions, so if you would like to volunteer as a member of the Group, email the Group Secretary, Mark Cribb,
The Neighbourhood Plan will be important in shaping the future of the village - it is vital that we get it right.

Chris
