Household Survey Results:
SF = Places/Spaces to protect, LO = Working & Living, JC = Housing & DMacB = Facilities/Amenities.
SF – Suggestions for protecting the recreation ground & paddock, the fields Wamil Hall to the Church, Church Lane green spaces & views across to West Row, field next to the Church, Green areas on edge of village to prevent coalescence & Walnut Grove/Lark Close greens.
JC – *See map attached. Equal split on housing needed! Desire for young people to stay in village. Single dwellings or small developments preferred. Brownfield sites to be protected. Development not to impact on historical buildings and to protect views. Would prefer ECO-friendly, energy efficient, 2 storey only, off street parking a must and to be in-keeping with the street scene.
Suitable sites suggested for development; Church Farm/Field, Re-development of old tin roof house, Bridge Close field (Freckenham to Isleham Rd), road to Red Lodge (wooded area), Golf Links Rd (before Golf Course), field beyond Worlie Hall.
DMacB – *See analysis sheet attached.
LO – To circulate results analysis at the weekend when completed!
The Local Plan draft is expected in April, with public consultation expected May-July, sites allocated will be confirmed then.
Ian Poole is to do an Analysis Report with graphs for the Multiple Choice answers and will publish the report and comments in full. 
The feedback on the survey results and the process so far will be shared at a public event in July/August 2022.
Green Spaces:
To be mapped.

Vision Statement:
An overview on what we want by 2040 (WSC Local Plan timeframe). This is to be discussed and agreed with a brainstorming session at the next meeting.

Landscape Appraisal:
Views assessment to be included and carried out by Lucy; Ian to fund and then invoice in next funding round.

Comments and feedback on appraisal to be sent to Ian by next week to feedback to Lucy. 
*the trees marked on the Staunch field are not Field Plane trees (Poplar)as stated, but are in fact a copse of Cricket Bat Willows! 
* Lark Valley character description is inaccurate!
* Aircraft noise!

The draft appraisal has been forwarded to AR Urbanism for their info. It was also sent to the Sunnica Actions Group.
