Regulation 17 – Independent Examination

Kingsbridge, West Alvington and Churchstow Neighbourhood Plan update 17/05/2022

Since the issue of our draft Neighbourhood Plan and the public consultation process was that completed (Regulation 14), a huge amount of work has been going on behind the scenes to incorporate the feed back where it was appropriate.

The revised Neighbourhood Plan was formally submitted to South Hams District Council under Regulation 15. This version of the Plan was required to undergo a second consultation process (under Regulation 16), which was carried out by South Hams District Council which has also now been completed.

The Neighbourhood Plan document has now been submitted to an Independent Examiner (Regulation 17). The Examiner will go through the Plan in the greatest of detail to ensure all parts of the document are correct, fair and comply with all regulations and legislation.

Further updates regarding the progress of the Plan will be added to the website as the process heads towards our ultimate goal, the Community Referendum.

Kingsbridge, West Alvington and Churchstow Neighbourhood Plan

Reg 14 consultation is now closed

Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group members, supported by other local residents have continued working on the detailed content of the Neighbourhood Plan during the pandemic lockdowns and have now completed a Plan document for consultation. We would like thanks all the volunteers from the community who have help get us to this stage, particularly the residents of West Alvington and Churchstow who have devoted their limited resources and spare time to help produce the best plan possible reflecting everyone’s vision of the future.

Steering Group members are:

Steve Arblaster, Dr.Karen Bevon-Mogg, Debbie Board, Richard Boyt, Brenda Burnside, Sam Dennis, Norman Dilley, Rosemary Dunstan, Martina Edmonds, John Elliott, Elizabeth Green, Robin Griffin, Katharine Harrod, Roger Hind, Martin Johnson, Lee Johnson, Tom Sylger-Jones, John Kinch, Sue Kinch, Paul Noone, Louisa Pepperell, Helen Rhymes, Phil Robinson, Geoffrey Rossetti, Peter Sandover, Lis Smith, Richard Smith, Grenville Taylor, John Walster, Paul Williams, Anne Balkwill, Roger English, Bryn Hayden, Chris Klee, Dr James Mottram, Chris Povey, Graham Price

The plan’s policies cover safeguarding our natural environment, the challenging issue of affordable housing, supporting local businesses, our rural market town economy, improving our built environment, more sustainable transport and promoting the health and wellbeing of all age groups in the community.

Most of this consultation will be carried out online however, for those who don’t like computers, printed copies of the Plan and response forms will be available from Kingsbridge Council offices in Quay House. We will arrange some live discussions using an open air location like a stall in the Farmer’s Market.

Much of the detailed evidence to support the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan is already available to view on this website in the Plan Appendices and Evidence library where you can see a good deal of detail about local green spaces, wildlife corridors, locally important views and heritage buildings that the plan will be identifying and respecting.
