Yatton Parish Plan 2008

 

 

Parish Plans were announced in the 2000 “Rural White Paper” which set out the Government’s plans for the countryside.They are intended to develop previous work such as village appraisals and village design statements and set a framework for communities to plan their own futures.

In November 2000 the Government’s Rural White Paper Our Countryside – The Future launched the concept of the parish and town plans whose purpose is to:

 

“… set out a vision of what is important, how new development can best be fitted in, the design and quality standards it should meet, how to preserve valued local features and to map out the facilities which the community needs to safeguard for the future.”

Plans should “identify key facilities and services, set out the problems that need to be tackled and demonstrate how distinctive character and features can be preserved.”

 

A Parish Plan is a statement of how the community sees itself developing over the next few years. It:

- reflects the views of all sections of the community;

- identifies which features and local characteristics people value;

- identifies local problems and opportunities;

- spells out how residents want the community to develop in the future;

- prepares a plan of action to achieve this vision.
