The Council set up a working party in June 2011 to look towards preparing a neighbourhood plan. This plan will follow the framework as set out in the Localism Bill that is due to become law in 2012. A neighbourhood plan is the locally formulated views as to the development of a town or parish within a District. In order to be adopted it has to be voted on by a referendum. If the “yes” vote wins the Neighbourhood Plan then has to be adopted by the District Council.
East Grinstead Town Council is seeking views of the public, has set up a working group to formulate the neighbourhood plan which will at some point in the future be voted on by the public of East Grinstead. Surveys, releases and public meetings will follow to ensure that as many views as possible are sought by the Town Council to represent the views of the residents and to ensure that the plan develops the town in a sustainable and effective way for the next 20 years.
Town Councillors are asking for your views in the next stage of consultation in developing the Neighbourhood Plan. Responding to the first survey and priorities identified, the Town Council is now seeking further clarification on the town’s views regarding Town Centre Regeneration and Business development which were the two areas that concerned residents the most.
Your views are important to us, so please take the time to complete the survey. If you have any questions regarding the survey please contact us.
Surveys can be completed online here or downloaded and filled in as a hard copy. Hard copies are also available at Market Square on the High Street, Sainsburys, the Library and the Town Council offices at East Court .
Forms should submitted by 1 March 2012 to the East Grinstead Town Council offices.
The results will be used to determine the policies and details to be included in the Neighbourhood Plan which when complete will be consulted on yet further.
