AR Urbanism:
Introductions were made. We have been assigned Free Tech Support with Design Guidance, to be carried out by AR Urbanism who do Master Planning and Urban Design. They carried out the Design Guidance for Freckenham PC too. A site visit/walk about & photographic assessment is to be arranged later in March. Timeframe set by Locality is June 2022.
WSC Local Plan:
Dates have been pushed back to April-May with the Preferred Options Consultation in July 2022. It is unclear at this stage if Worlington will have site allocations; 3 sites have been identified, but not confirmed.
Household Survey:
Results are being compiled. The majority of response were from the Age 65+ group, with lower number of response from the younger and working age groups.
Landscape Appraisal:
In process. First draft has been received. The Sunnica proposal is being looked at and included. It was agreed to forward a copy to the Sunnica Action Group before 17th March 2022.The Final version is expected in 2-3 weeks approximately. It was agreed that the Landscape Appraisal could benefit AR Urbanism and Ian is to forward to them upon receipt.
Boundary Change (Turnpike):
No update. It was discussed and agreed that this should not affect the Design Guidance. Ian is to email a map of the Parish Boundaries, including the Turnpike Boundary change to AR Urbanism.
Green Spaces Study:
It was agreed that it would be helpful to have the green spaces mapped before the AR Urbanism visit. Don MacBean is to provide wildlife data.
Vision Statement:
Currently working on info gathering, it would be helpful to have the Vision Statement completed in the next 4-6 weeks, as may be helpful to have this before AR Urbanism starts the Design Plan.
Actions agreed:
It was agreed to wait until the Local Plan (April-May) is out in draft, before making a decision on the timeline for producing the Draft Neighbourhood Plan. But it is estimated that we can start formulating the content in May 2022, with a feedback session for residents in June/July 2022.
It was agreed that Ian is to produce a summary of results of the Neighbourhood Survey for the website page. The Clerk is to upload all previous Working Party Minutes to the website page.
Closed 8:18pm
