This Neighbourhood Development Plan has been prepared by and for the local people of the Hodsock Parish. It should be noted the term ‘Parish’ used throughout this document is used in the Civil not ecclesiastical context. The term ‘Parish Council’ is a legal term describing the Local Authority. 1.2. The Localism Act 2011 provided new powers for Parish Councils to prepare land use planning documents. The Parish area shown in Figure 1 below was designated as a Neighbourhood Plan area and Hodsock Parish Council was designated as a qualifying body to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan by the BDC on the 18th December 2015. Figure 1: Designated Neighbourhood Area 1.3. This Neighbourhood Plan is a new type of planning document. Hodsock Parish Council has commissioned the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group to prepare this plan to shape future growth across the Parish. When it has been approved by Page 3 HODSOCK AND LANGOLD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN Bassetlaw District Council (BDC) and local referendum the policies will be used in assessing planning applications in the Neighbourhood Plan area. Once adopted, the Neighbourhood Plan will have the same legal status as the BDC Local Plan. 1.4. The document has been prepared by the Hodsock and Langold Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group. Membership includes local residents and local councillors and is overseen by the Parish Council. 1.5. Various public consultations have been held to gain an understanding of the views of residents, businesses and key agencies that operate within the area. The consultation feedback and the evidence from the studies have been combined and are fundamental to the formulation of the policies within this Neighbourhood Development Plan. Why are we doing a Neighbourhood Plan? 1.6. The settlement of Langold is classified as a Local Service Centre in BDC’s Core Strategy (2011) where development would be ‘with smaller regeneration opportunities and the services, facilities and development opportunities available to support moderate levels of growth’. BDCs Site Allocations Development Plan Document (withdrawn 2014) proposes that No new houses (other than those with approved planning applications) will be allocated in the area up to 2028. Since then however, a number of large planning applications have been granted for outline planning permission within Langold for around 475 new homes. 1.7. Consultation for this Neighbourhood Plan has revealed a need for specific housing types to suit the needs of local people and recognition that more housing, with the right planning policy context, could benefit the village. The Steering Group determined there are three reasons for this: a. Expansion of community facilities and services will only be possible and balanced with an expanding population particularly with a younger demographic; b. Concern that the existing community facilities and general social infrastructure will struggle to remain viable without an increase in younger families coming to or remaining in the village; c. The protection of our open spaces and wider network of public footpaths; Page 4 HODSOCK AND LANGOLD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN d. The Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) contribution derived from new dwellings could ensure that housing growth in the Plan area brings with it additional benefits like environmental improvements and enhanced recreational facilities that enable the Community Vision in the Neighbourhood Plan to be realised. How the Neighbourhood Plan fits into the Planning System 1.8. Planning policy has always been formulated at District level and BDC continues to have a legal duty to provide this via its Adopted Core Strategy 2011-2028. BDC is in the early stages of preparing a new Local Plan. 1.9. This will establish the long-term approach to development in the District up to the year 2037. On adoption, the Bassetlaw Plan will replace the 2011 Core Strategy & Development Plan Document. Until the New Local Plan is adopted the Core Strategy and Development Management Policies will be used to make planning decisions in the area. Following its adoption in 2021, the Bassetlaw Plan will introduce new strategic policies. If, as a result, an element of an existing Neighbourhood Plan becomes out of date, BDC will support Neighbourhood Plan Groups to resolve this matter. Both this Neighbourhood Plan and Bassetlaw’s planning policies must also be in general conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). 1.10. The Parish Council has worked collaboratively with BDC and the policies in the Hodsock Neighbourhood Plan are in general conformity with higher level planning policies to ensure it meets this basic condition (as set out in the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012). 1.11. The statutory six-week consultation period (yet to happen), which will run for 6 weeks over the dd/mm period the Neighbourhood Development Plan will be publicised for a further six weeks by BDC, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan Regulations 2012. After this the Plan will be a material consideration in the preparation of any planning applications within the Parish. 1.12. After the examination (by an independent examiner) and a successful local referendum, this Plan will form part of the statutory development plan and will carry significant weight in the determination of planning applications along with the policies in BDC’s 2011-2028 Core Strategy (or superseding document) and the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). Page 5 HODSOCK AND LANGOLD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 1.13. The Neighbourhood Development Plan should be read as a whole and in conjunction with national policies and with BDC’s planning policies. 2. Consultation National Lottery Big Local 2.1. In 2010 the villages of Langold, Costhorpe and Carlton (Carlton is not within the Parish of Hodsock) jointly put together an application for a National Lottery Big Local who are all working together to make a better community. Together the villages have a population of over 7000 people. 2.1 The successful production of a Neighbourhood Development Plan requires an open process and on-going consultation. It also requires the involvement of a wide range of people in terms of their ages and where they live across the Plan area. 2.2. Public consultation events have been held in the Parish. Consultation events have been held at the local primary Schools. Publicity material such as stickers, posters and articles in local periodicals has been utilised to engage residents. It is estimated approximately 250 people have attended school and village workshops. Whilst there will have been some duplication in those people participating in the range of consultation sessions, this still shows significant engagement in a population of 2472 people.

  • Consultation Statement
    1 Introduction The Neighbourhood Plan steering group has been committed in undertaking consistent, transparent, effective and inclusive periods of community consultation throughout the development of the Neighbourhood Plan (NP) and associated evidence base. The Neighbourhood Plan Regulations require that, when a Neighbourhood Development Plan is submitted for examination, a statement should also be submitted setting out details of those consulted, how they were consulted, the main issues and concerns raised and how these have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed Plan. Legal Basis: Section 15(2) of part 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations (as amended) 2012 sets out that, a consultation statement should be a document containing the following: • Details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed Neighbourhood Development Plan; • Explanation of how they were consulted; • Summary of the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and • Description of how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed NP. The NP for Hodsock/ Langold will cover the period 2019 until 2037. The NP proposal does not deal with county matters (mineral extraction and waste development), nationally significant infrastructure or any other matters set out in Section 61K of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Our Consultation Statement This statement outlines the stages in which have led to the production of the Hodsock/Langold NP in terms of consultation with residents, businesses in the parish, stakeholders and statutory consultees. In addition, this statement will provide a summary and, in some cases, detailed descriptions of the numerous consultation events and other ways in which residents and stakeholders were able to influence the content of the Plan.

Our Workforce 12 | Appendix – Bassetlaw Demographic Profile 01909 533 533 3 1. Foreword As a Council, we have a duty to produce a Single Equality Scheme and this Strategy forms our next Scheme for 2021-2025, guiding our approach to increasing opportunities across the District and improving access to Council services. Bassetlaw District Council’s Equality & Diversity Strategy 2021-2025 builds on the foundations of our previous strategy to ensure that equality is further embedded into our policies, procedures and every- day working, and that we embrace diversity and recognise that everyone has their own unique needs, characteristics, skills, and abilities. The year 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year for all of us. The Covid-19 pandemic meant that the Council needed to provide extra support to the most vulnerable in society and find new ways to deliver its services. The next four years will be a critical period for the Council and its partners in ensuring Bassetlaw’s economy can bounce back from the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit, and that residents and businesses can continue to be supported effectively. The Strategy is the next step in a journey to better understand our communities and anticipate the needs of residents and service users. The Strategy identifies five key objectives for the next four years, and the actions we will take to deliver each of these. The objectives have been identified through our ongoing conversations with residents, and analysing the latest data both internally and externally.

  • Landscape Evolution
    APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5: LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION This information has been taken from the Nottingham Landscape Guidelines published in 1997 undertaken by Nottinghamshire County Council. Magnesian Limestone Ridge ‘There is still much to learn about the development of the landscapes of the Magnesian Limestone Ridge . Considered to have been a remote wooded area, of late interest to settlers, it has often been considered only as part of Sherwood Forest. While this latter is indeed true, it is not the whole story which, for the want of detailed study, can only be sketched in outline and with some imprecision. Little coherent can be said about the prehistoric and Roman landscapes of the region. Evidence of some of the earlier human occupation and activity in the East Midlands, during the later Ice Ages and after, comes from Creswell Crags. The caves of the limestone gorge provided shelter for the hunter-gathers who 12,000 years ago moved through a landscape which was gradually changing from tundra to birch and pine forest and would eventually develop into mixed oak forest, with alder, oak, elm and lime. While Creswell is the best known and studied, other gorges in the Magnesian Limestone have caves which were occupied by both people and animals at these early dates, and also later. Human occupation of significance has yet to be demonstrated at Pleasley Vale, but the full potential of this gorge, which appears to be considerably filled, has not been explored. Later human activity on the Magnesian Limestone Ridge is indicated by the stone tools and fabrication debris of hunter-gatherer groups and of the first farmers and settlers of the Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age, which are found on the surfaces of ploughed fields.

Let me set the scene, my granddad was born in1882 and he lived to be 93 years old. Throughout his long life he never had to worry about a gas bill - because he never had a gas supply, in fact for the majority of his life he had no electricity either. The only source of heating was a coal fi red ‘range’ in his two-up two-down terrace and his toilet was at the end of the yard. I guess Tip No. 1 is to forget about fashion and dress for the weather. The memory that prompted this was as a child in the 1950s, calling on my granddad late one night with my parents only to fi nd that he was already WELCOME to the Autumn Edition of In Touch dressed for bed. and I hope that, like me, you’ve all had a good After much knocking he answered summer and enjoyed the sunshine when it the back door wearing his occasionally decided to pop out from behind fl annelette nightshirt, woollen bed the clouds.
