Volunteer Required for Neighbourhood Development Plan

Published: 14 October 2023

 

 

We need an Enborne Parishioner to join our Neighbourhood Plan Working Group.

 

The main purpose of the Working Group is to oversee the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan. The plan will then progress to Independent Examination and should through a Community Referendum be adopted by West Berkshire Council to become planning policy.

 

 

 Our volunteers will be asked to help with the following tasks:

 

•       Liaise with relevant authorities and organisations to make the Neighbourhood Development  Plan as effective as possible.

 

•       Identify ways of involving the whole community and gather the views and opinions of as  many groups and organisations in the community as possible.

 

•       Determine the types of surveys and information gathering to be used.

 

•       Be responsible for the analysis of the surveys, as well as the production and the distribution  of the final report.

 

•       Identify priorities and timescales for local action in the Project Plan, including the lead  organisations and potential sources of project funding.

 

•       Regularly report back to the Parish Council for endorsement of decisions taken.

 

•       Agree, subject to ratification by the Parish Council, a final submission version of the Enborne Parish Neighbourhood Development Plan.

 

The Neighbourhood Plan Working Group meets about once a month. The working group will consist of a minimum of two parish councillors and up to 4 parishioners.
