Have Your Say: Chipping Campden’s vision for the future opens for public consultation

The plan, which is now open for public consultation, shares a vision for the future of the parish covering the town and Broad Campden. It suggests planning rules that will be used along with the Cotswold District Council local plan to help decide on development and gives residents and other stakeholders the opportunity to help shape how the area evolves in the years ahead.  

The Chipping Campden Neighbourhood Plan proposes policies to shape new development, including designation of local green spaces, the promotion of a new design guide, and policies to address community concerns. 

Following the public consultation, the plan will be examined independently to ensure that it meets the conditions of the Localism Act and other relevant regulations. Public comments will also be considered by the independent examiner in determining whether the plan meets the legal requirements. 

Cllr Juliet Layton, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing, said: "Neighbourhood plans are a powerful way for communities to shape the future of their local area. The Chipping Campden plan should reflect the aspirations and priorities of local residents, and I encourage everyone to take part in the consultation and have their say on this important document." 

Interested parties are now asked to submit their views on the Chipping Campden neighbourhood development plan consultation. Anyone wishing to comment must do so by 12 noon on Friday, August 15.
