Planning and Making Decisions

Principles

Delivery of the Action Plan will be guided by five principles:

  • Responding to the climate emergency, placing an emphasis on creating and nurturing a sustainable environment

  • Continuing to strengthen our community, and building resilience for emergencies such as flooding or a pandemic

  • Improving communications, and encouraging and enabling greater community engagement and more participative decision making

  • Working effectively with partners, aligning our priorities as far as possible

  • Ensuring that our actions are economically and socially sustainable.

    In putting the Plan into practice we need to make sure that, where we can, we promote these principles, and that at the very least we do not undermine them.


Planning and Making Decisions

Some really challenging ideas have emerged here around spatial development and what is right for the future of the Parish. The community and the Parish Council have an important role in decisions which affect us all. To be effective we should work together to influence the plans and policies of others. This includes (not exclusively) roads and transport plans, housing and other development, and how we continue to access health and education services.
