South Wingfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2020-2035 Foreword South Wingfield Parish Neighbourhood Plan has been developed to establish a vision for the Parish and to help deliver the local community’s aspirations and needs for the Plan period 2020-2034. The Neighbourhood Plan will be a statutory document that will be incorporated into the Borough planning framework and must be used by Amber Valley Borough Council to determine planning applications. Our Plan has been produced by local residents, with the support of the Parish Council, using the views of the residents of South Wingfield. The Steering Group has consulted and listened to the community on a wide range of issues that will influence the well-being, sustainability and long-term preservation of our historic and rural environment. We have formulated policies in this Plan which will attempt to maintain, protect and enhance our heritage, landscape and community facilities as well as supporting local businesses. We would like to thank all the volunteers who have worked steadfastly on bringing this Plan to fruition. In addition, grateful thanks are due to many others for their help and engagement, without which it would not have been possible to produce this Neighbourhood Plan. Paul Jackson Chair, South Wingfield Parish Council 4 All policies should be read in conjunction with Borough and National policies.
