DRAFT PLAN: DRAFT POLICIES
Paragraph 2.1 of the consultation document sets out the overarching vision and objectives. Of
particular relevance to the parish of Renhold is the following:
“Development will be sensitively planned to complement the borough’s natural environment.
The borough’s countryside, its intrinsic character and beauty including areas of tranquil
retreat will be recognised. Rural communities will embrace appropriate development, in
many instances through the preparation of their own neighbourhood plans. This
development will reflect each area’s unique local character whilst providing and supporting
much needed housing and employment, rural facilities and services, including high speed
broadband and public transport. Locally important green spaces and valued local
landscapes will be protected and enjoyed by all.”
This is supported by the Parish Council, together with the statement made in paragraph 1.25.
The continued cooperation between the Council and Parish Council's regarding additional
development in or around villages is welcomed and supported.
