BOROUGH COUNCIL SEEKING LOCAL VIEWS ON CORE STRATEGY
Rushcliffe Borough Council is seeking the views of local residents on the latest stage of development of its ‘Core Strategy’. This is a strategic planning document that sets out how Rushcliffe should develop up to 2026, addressing topics such as the provision and location of new homes, facilities, new areas for jobs and climate change issues.
The Council has published an ‘Option for Consultation’ report. This includes the Council’s suggestions for major developments at Clifton, Gamston and Cotgrave. Even though the Council is opposed to the level of housing required by the Government, they need the views of local residents about what they think of these sites and to help us begin to decide what they could look like and what facilities they would require. In addition to these major sites, the Council has set out, in broad terms where other housing should be provided in Rushcliffe, along with other types of development such as new areas for jobs. We also want opinions from local residents as to whether a small amount of new housing should be allowed in the smaller rural villages including affordable housing intended to meet local needs. A series of consultation events will be held during March and April. The dates for those already arranged are…
Thursday 11th March: Bingham Market
Saturday 13th March: West Bridgford Farmers Market
Monday 15th March: St Peter’s Rooms, Ruddington
Tuesday 16th March: Grange Hall, Radcliffe-on-Trent
Thursday 18th March: Gotham Village Hall
Friday 19th March: Thrumpton Village Hall
Wednesday 24th March: Gamston Community Hall
Friday 26th March: Bingham Town Hall
Monday 29th March: Tollerton Parish Rooms
Tuesday 30th March: East Leake Village Hall
The Council have identified some questions that they believe most people would want to comment on. These can be accessed, together with some maps and background information, at thebigpicture-rushcliffe.com. The full Option for Consultation Report and details of how to respond will be available at rushcliffe.gov.uk/planningpolicy or phone 0115 914 8449 for further details.
