The Steering Committee:
in preparing the Plan has;
- Ensured the activities of the Neighbourhood Forum are compliant with the statutory requirements laid down in the Localism Act 2011 (link)
- Undertaken research (supported by volunteers) to provide an evidence base to justify the Policies and Aspirations you have asked us to include in the Plan.
- Devised and maintained a Schedule to deliver a completed Neighbourhood Plan within the permitted time frame
- Negotiated with the RBC Planning Office to secure the optimum outcomes for the Neighbourhood Area
- Organised a timetable for the development of the Plan and the voting schedule.
- It now has the tasks laid down in the Neighbourhood Plan, section 17 of the Neighbourhood Plan
The Steering Committee are all volunteers, and are not expected to become experts in planning matters, but need to either be familiar with, or be prepared to become familiar with the planning concepts and restraints affecting our Area.
Any Resident (including students resident in the Area) and any person working in the Area can volunteer to go on the Steering Committee.
