Respondent: Pavenham Parish council

As noted above, Pavenham Parish Council is currently preparing its Neighbourhood Plan. The Plan, in draft form, has already been very helpfully reviewed by officers of the Borough Council. The Parish Council’s proposed policies will be entirely in line with the overarching Local Plan, both 2030 and hopefully, subject to timing, the emerging 2040 Plan. The Parish Council would, however, wish to draw the Borough Council’s attention to the fact that, with a view to protecting the Parish from what could potentially be a grab for development sites within the Parish boundary, and noting that the Borough Council in its emerging 2040 draft Plan proposes to retain its 2030 allocation for the Parish – namely a nil allocation – the draft of the Neighbourhood Plan as it currently stands, allocates two sites for residential development - subject to compliance with policy considerations and conditions for residential development totalling nineteen units – sixteen on one site, three on the other.
1.3 In this context, paragraphs 1.48 and 1.49 of the Consultation document are welcomed and in this context the Parish Council would wish formally to record its thanks for the constructive advice and assistance that it has received from officers of the Borough Council in relation to our draft Plan.
