Gamlingay's Neighbourhood Plan – the Reg. 14 Pre-submission Consultation
Tuesday, 18 Aug 2020, 17:32comments, Consultation, feedback, NPConsultation during September – October 2020 on Gamlingay’s draft Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group hopes to launch a formal consultation on the draft plan from 7th September for six weeks. All residents and businesses will be able to view the complete draft Neighbourhood Plan and provide feedback. This is a formal and important stage within the neighbourhood planning regulations and is known as 'Regulation 14 Pre-submission Consultation'. Essentially, everyone in the parish will have the opportunity to comment on the Plan before it is submitted to South Cambridgeshire District Council for examination.
A booklet summarising the Plan will be sent to every household in September and there will be a series of consultation events at the Eco Hub where you can come and ask any questions you may have about it. All information, including the plan in full, will be made available on the website, gamlingay-future.uk, with paper copies of the plan available at the Eco Hub. The Steering Group plans to attend the Gamlingay Village Show on 19th September. The latest Government guidance on social distancing will be taken into account in our plans for this consultation. Dates when you can talk members of the Steering Group about the Plan are listed below:

After the Consultation, the Steering Group will consider all comments received, and make any changes necessary.
At this point the Plan will enter its final stage, which will result in a referendum. All Gamlingay residents will be asked to vote, Yes or No, for the Plan to be adopted. We anticipate that this vote will take place in late 2021.
Please keep an eye out for further information in September including the Summary booklets coming through your letterbox!

The draft plan is based on all the survey feedback and evidence gathered over the last couple of years and has objectives and policies which focus on:
- Supporting new housing that’s appropriate size, affordable and adaptable
- Protecting the open countryside and Gamlingay’s distinct landscape setting as a radial village with satellite hamlets and smallholdings
- Nurturing and growing local businesses in the Parish
- Ensuring local facilities meet the needs of our community
- Developing a network of footpaths to promote walking, cycling and riding
- Enhancing the natural environment and biodiversity of the Parish
Once all feedback has been collated, the steering group will draw up a final version of the plan so that we can proceed to final consultation, examination and Referendum later this year.
For further information, please contact the steering group via our website gamlingay-future.uk or on (01767) 650310.
