Local Plan Advisory Committee Meeting 18 Jan 2016
Sets out a plan (Appendix 3) with an ‘Assessment Schedule’ (Appendix 3) for land the KI Neighbourhood Plan team believe was submitted in the recent, and also past, ‘Call for Sites’.
Over seventy people packed the Village Hall on the evening of the 19th February to hear about a proposal to set up a Steering Committee and Working Groups to produce a Neighbourhood Plan for Kirk Ireton.
Jeremy Butt and Nick Delves introduced the meeting to set the scene. Jo Dugdale from Rural Action Derbyshire then gave a presentation on what it means to have a plan and what is involved in producing it. Rural Action Derbyshire has a leading role in developing Community led Plans (also known as Parish Plans) in Derbyshire and supports communities throughout the process.
This was followed by the showing of an edited version of a Countryfile programme which highlighted problems local communities are having and could have in future in the absence of a local plan.
It was overwhelmingly agreed that the village should produce a Neighbourhood Plan and people were invited to put themselves forward for the Steering Group and the Working Groups.
More information on Neighbourhood Plans can be found on mycommunityrights.org The Setting Up Group will meet at 7.30pm on Thursday 26th February to appoint officers for the Steering Group and progress things further.
Posters were on display at the meeting showing their vision for the future of the village. The shool headmaster Peter Johnston explained to the meeting how the project came about as part of the normal school curriculum.
Sounds dull – but isn’t!
Come to a Public Meeting in the Village Hall on Thursday February 19th. The doors open at 7.30pm and the meeting starts at 8.15pm.
A Neighbourhood Plan has been started and when you know what it is, YOU WILL WANT YOUR SAY. So read on……
Since the planning laws have been revised, broadly speaking any developer can buy any land and put up buildings as long as they comply with the current Derbyshire Dales local plan and the building regulations. That is, UNLESS we have a Neighbourhood Plan in place to say what WE want done in this area of land, inside the boundaries of the Parish of Kirk Ireton. This plan when made will have power in planning law.
Over the next 15 to 20 years there will be changes. We can’t say no to everything. However…
A Neighbourhood Plan is OUR CHANCE to shape the developments that we want and need to happen.
First we have to decide on what we want our community to look like in 20 years. We make a Vision Statement. It is vital that we all contribute our ideas and come to an agreement in broad terms about our future community.
Then we steer through a series of hoops; mapping, gathering evidence, creating a profile of the present community, matching our plan against present law, consulting widely and recording who has been consulted, drafting final proposals and submitting the final plan.
The Plan has to pass two formal tests: an independent inspection that checks the plan for legality, and a referendum of all the eligible voters in the parish.
The whole process will take about a year. Anyone who lives, works and/or runs businesses here is asked to offer skills and expertise to complete the task.
So far work has begun with a small setting-up group. This is just a starter group and is open to new members at any time. The setting-up group have been meeting over the autumn in the Village Hall, supported by Rural Action Derbyshire;
Here is their draft of a Vision Statement. Do you agree?
Neighbourhood Plan
A Vision statement for Kirk Ireton
Kirk Ireton is a place that has a caring and active community and which takes care of children, older people and is safe for everyone. A place that offers a suitable mix of dwellings and people to sustain a school, a pub, a shop, a church and a chapel.
It is a village that makes provision for people to work in the parish with good communications and is a place where future development considers both the landscape and villagers’ access to it.
Do you agree?
