It will be valid until 2033. A Neighbourhood Plan is only concerned with land use and development, not community facilities directly, although it can be used to propose detailed actions and use of S106 agreements by directing funding as suggested during the evidence gathering. This Plan is not intended to simply restrict or prevent development occurring in the Parish, but will focus the local Planning Authority’s attention on the wishes of us, the residents, in the development of Wendover. It will serve as an aide to help developers focus on the requisites for successful and appropriate development, sympathetic to our Parish, the history and setting within the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
