It’s a great chance for anyone in the village and surrounding area to learn how a Neighbourhood Plan could help shape development in the parish and support them in helping to decide whether it is the right approach for the community.
Everyone is welcome to come and have their say about what Tealby could look like in the future. Whether it is housing development, new business premises, green spaces or something else, this is everyone’s chance to shape the future of the parishes for the next 10 - 20 years!’
The Parish Council is working with Community Lincs and West Lindsey District Council to better understand the opportunities and benefits of a Plan against the commitment and resources required to achieve a final plan. A Neighbourhood Plan can take at least a year to develop, involving a dedicated group of volunteers gathering evidence and information to form the plan. The final document will be subject to examination and referendum and then form part of the Local Development Plan for use to advise future planning.
Janet Clark, Senior Rural Officer at Community Lincs said, ‘Neighbourhood Planning is an important way for communities to have a real say in how their community is developed. Most communities find that they need help and support along the way, therefore Community Lincs works hard to provide a full support service for communities undertaking the Neighbourhood Planning process. After this event the Parish Council can decide how it wishes to proceed.’
People are welcome to drop in and take as much time as they like to give their comments about what is needed or improvements which might be made. This is a genuine opportunity for everyone to have their views heard and recorded. The Parish Council look forward to welcoming everyone.
Anyone unable to attend the event can still be involved by emailing the Parish Clerk at Tealbypc@gmail.com
