Repair work to be carried out to the round-about after half term, due to works taking up to 2 weeks to complete. g. Neighbourhood Plan – As mentioned last month, the Steering Group held a meeting with Carly Tinkler and her architect associate, Ian Singleton, to produce an “indicative” site plan for Chicklade Road. This plan will indicate both a layout for where on the site buildings would be most acceptable in terms of visual impact and the number of houses which the site could accommodate. This will form a major part of our “brief” and discussions with CG Fry, which together with the views expressed by the village and the “benefits” we wish to achieve, will after discussion with CG Fry hopefully give us a viable number of dwellings to be incorporated into our revised Draft Neighbourhood Plan. The Indicative Plan has just been received from Carly Tinkler and will be discussed by the Steering Group who are scheduled to meet this Thursday afternoon 10th October. This will be followed by a meeting with David Lohfink of CG Fry the following Thursday 17th October which will be a vital meeting and cover: . Review of the various Site and Housing Assessments . The benefits we wish to achieve of New surgery, School enlargement, Landscaping of site and improvements of pedestrian access into the heart of the village. . Dwelling numbers and types. Following this it will be necessary to have a further meeting with Wiltshire Council to recap on the above and the outcomes and to discuss our Draft Plan. The Draft Plan has to be sent to AECOM too so that they can complete the SEA which will be an important supporting document as part of the background material that has to be published at the same time as our Draft Plan. Also, either a meeting with Richard Burden of the Cranborne Chase and West Wilts Downs AONB or we need to send him a copy of our Draft Plan prior to going to Reg 16 6-week public consultation so that he can give any major views for us to consider and in corporate. It is hoped that this public consultation can commence by the end of this month so that it is completed before we enter the Christmas period. Other support documents are virtually completed but final editing and adjustments are still in hand. Hopefully, by the time of our November meeting we will have achieved all of this but is a tight schedule! h. Village Hall – There are no issues to report on the Village Hall.
