A summary of the public consultation including the main responses and concerns. Engagement with the community within the neighbourhood area & analysis of the main issues and concerns. The Kirk Ireton Parish Council wrote to Derbyshire Dales District Council (DDDC) on the 2nd Apr 2014 requesting that Kirk Ireton Parish be designated a Neighbourhood Plan area. Notice of this designation was given by DDDC on the 5th Sept 2014. An announcement was placed in the Village Diary and notices put on all the village notice boards. An announcement was placed in the Village Diary and notices put on all the village notice boards inviting anyone in the community interested in forming a Neighbourhood Plan working group to attend a meeting in the village hall on 29th Oct 2014. The fledgling Neighbourhood Plan Group applied for and received a grant from ‘Locality’ in Dec 2014 to support the project. Two members of the Neighbourhood Plan group gave a talk and held a discussion about the Neighbourhood Plan and ‘what sort of place Kirk Ireton would be in fifteen years time’ with the Juniors at Kirk Ireton Primary School. The Juniors made posters and descriptions with a ‘development theme’ as part of a school project based on the local area. The first public meeting was held on 19th February 2015 and was attended by 70 members of the village. Joe Dugdale of Rural Action Derbyshire gave a presentation on the benefits of having a plan and the process involved in producing it. An edited version of Countryfile was shown which highlighted planning issues that many rural communities were experiencing through predatory development because of the absence of a Neighbourhood Plan, and Local Authority Local Plan. There was overwhelming support at the meeting to produce a Neighbourhood Plan for Kirk Ireton. Two people objected to a Neighbourhood Plan, but both subsequently joined and actively participated. Villagers were invited to be part of a Steering Committee and several Working Groups. The Steering Committee worked closely with the Parish Council and has been guided throughout by Rural Action Derbyshire. Two documents were very useful at the start of the Neighbourhood Plan process: Conservation Area Appraisal Dec 2014 (Written by the DDDC Conservation Department) Rural Community Profile- Kirk Ireton (Compiled by OCSI for Rural Action Derbyshire) Working Groups Three working groups were formed and met regularly between Mar-Nov 2015, they gathered information on their areas of interest: The Built Environment Local Amenities The Natural Environment The three working groups presented verbal reports to the Steering Committee meetings which were minuted. The Built Environment Group focused on the main village settlement using the ‘Conservation Area Appraisal’. They made detailed analysis of the age, type and design of the individual properties in the settlement. The Amenities Group considered the range of the village amenities including the school, shop, pub, village hall, village field, open space, church, chapel, Kirk Ireton Community Association (KICA). 3 The Natural Environment Group investigated all the ground within the Parish Boundary. This included farmland and agriculture, footpaths, woodland and wildlife. They also looked at the contribution made to the village economy by tourism. The Steering Group adopted a constitution on the 13th May 2015. Meetings were open to all and advertised in the Village Diary with the clear objective that the Neighbourhood Plan be as inclusive as possible. A website was set up to make the progress of the plan easily accessible to the community. The Kirk Ireton Neighbourhood Plan displayed information on a stall at Kirk Ireton Village ‘Wakes’ on the 6th June 2015 with details about the progress of the plan. Members of The Steering Group were present to answer questions. Several more villagers were recruited to join in the Working Groups.
