The Neighbourhood Plan process will provide residents, businesses, service providers and local organisations with a unique opportunity to help guide development within the designated area, plan the future delivery of local services and facilities, and ensure that the Wolds Villages remain a vibrant and sustainable place to live, work, and do business. To support the successful development of the Wolds Villages Neighbourhood Plan, the RCC was commissioned by the Wolds Villages Joint Neighbourhood Plan Committee to organise and independently facilitate a meeting of key local stakeholders which was held on 23rd September 2015 in Burton on the Wolds Village Hall, Loughborough Road, Burton on the Wolds.

Contribute to the core evidence base for the The Wolds Neighbourhood Plan.

Identify and explore key issues that the Neighbourhood Plan will need to

consider

Help to inform the ongoing consultation and engagement process required to produce the plan

SPORT ENGLAND Thank you for consulting Sport England on the above

Neighbourhood Consultation.

Planning Policy in the National Planning Policy Framework

identifies how the planning system can play an important role

in facilitating social interaction and creating healthy, inclusive

communities. Encouraging communities to become more

physically active through walking, cycling, informal recreation

and formal sport plays an important part in this process and

providing enough sports facilities of the right quality and type

and in the right places is vital to achieving this aim. This

means positive planning for sport, protection from

unnecessary loss of sports facilities and an integrated

approach to providing new housing and employment land and

community facilities provision is important.

It is important therefore that the Neighbourhood Plan reflects

national policy for sport as set out in the above document with

particular reference to Pars 73 and 74 to ensure proposals

comply with National Planning Policy. It is also important to be

aware of Sport England’s role in protecting playing fields and

the presumption against the loss of playing fields (see link

below), as set out in our national guide, ‘A Sporting Future

for the Playing Fields of England – Planning Policy

Statement’.

http://www.sportengland.org/facilities-planning/planning-for-

sport/development-management/planning-

applications/playing-field-land/

Sport England provides guidance on developing policy for

sport and further information can be found following the link

below:


sport/forward-planning/

Sport England works with Local Authorities to ensure Local

Plan policy is underpinned by robust and up to date

assessments and strategies for indoor and outdoor sports

delivery. If local authorities have prepared a Playing Pitch

Strategy or other indoor/outdoor sports strategy it will be

important that the Neighbourhood Plan reflects the

recommendations set out in that document and that any local

investment opportunities, such as the Community

Infrastructure Levy, are utilised to support the delivery of those

recommendations.

CHARNWOOD CPRE

(the Campaign to Protect

Rural England)

Neighbourhood Plans should seek to establish the

following outcomes:

Preserve and enhance valued green spaces within

settlements

Preserve and enhance green spaces BETWEEN

settlements to safeguard against coalescence

Identify other valuable green spaces using the

Landscape Character Assessment protocol

Review and embrace Village Design Statements to

ensure that they have statutory status within the

Neighbourhood Plan

Ensure appropriate housing to meet identified local

needs including affordable homes, bungalows and

housing for the elderly as well as for younger members

of the community

Identify preferred locations for housing, commercial,

industrial & leisure developments, using brownfield

sites, as appropriate, first

Identify shortcomings with infrastructure and

community facilities and require that these are

addressed as a condition of any development

proposals

Regulate and manage traffic issues arising from new

developments within settlements and from

developments within neighbouring settlements

Identify how policies (and projects) can conserve and

enhance the natural environment and promote

biodiversity alongside meeting development needs.

MIDLANDS RURAL

HOUSING

I can’t make the 23rd September unfortunately but you know

what we can offer in terms of carrying out a Housing Needs

Survey of the villages to tie in with the NDP if desired. This

would have to be cleared by Charnwood BC first as they are

not expecting these villages to be surveyed until 16/17 or

17/18. Indeed, a HNS report for Burton, Cotes and Prestwold

is dated January 2013 so this is still valid until 2018. I am

sure that the Parish Council will bring this to your attention

and maybe some of the evidence collected back then can will

be further investigated as part of the NDP. The Clerk to the

PC confirmed the PC’s note of the survey in an email at the

beginning of 2014 which stated:

Burton on the Wolds, Cotes and Prestwold Parish Council

note the contents of and the possible requirements from the

Housing Needs Survey and will take them into consideration

when any planning application comes before us and in the

course of preparing our Neighbourhood Plan.

Hoton seemed to be prepared for a HNS in 2011 but this

never happened.

Mr. PETER HIGGINS

Apologies

LEICESTERSHIRE FIRE &

RESCUE SERVICE

I have been given the details of your meeting on the 23rd

September and unfortunately the date and time clashes with a

management meeting within the service to finalise the risk

management plans for the next 3 years; so unfortunately we

are unable to send anyone to your meeting on this occasion. I

would however welcome any future invitations to the

stakeholder meetings where you feel our attendance may be

beneficial. Please accept the services apologies on this

occasion.
