Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2031 Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan 2015-2031 CONSULTATION STATEMENT Published by Adderbury Parish Council to accompany the Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan submitted for examination under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. March 2017 (updated Sept 2017) Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement Contents 1. Purpose 2. Initial Community consultation – The TAP Residents Survey 3. Further consultations (ANP1) 4. The new pre-submission plan (ANP 2) 5. Appendix 1. Purpose 1.1 The purpose of this statement is to summarise the consultations undertaken, both formal and informal, during the preparation of the Adderbury Neighbourhood Plan, in accordance with Regulation 15 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. 1.2 Regulation 15 requires that a “consultation statement” is submitted with the neighbourhood plan that: a) contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan; b) explains how they were consulted; c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; and d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed neighbourhood development plan. 1.3 The project has progressed since 2012 in two related but separate phases. The original phase began in 2012 and ended with the decision not to submit the Plan for examination in November 2015. For completeness, all of the consultation work done during that stage is referenced here, as it continued to play an important part in how community opinion especially would shape the contents of the plan during its second phase. 1.4 That second phase started in early 2016 and proceeded through further informal consultations during spring/summer 2016 to the formal Pre Submission consultation period in November 2016 – February 2017. 2. Initial Community Consultations: The 2013 TAP Residents Survey 2.1 The Parish Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group consulted widely with the local community during the course of the plan preparation process, and the Neighbourhood Plan is based upon the results of these consultations, which have included meetings, open days and community surveys. 2.2 Adderbury Parish Council, the ‘qualifying body’, voted to prepare a Neighbourhood Plan in May 2012 and submitted its application for designation of a Neighbourhood Area coinciding with the Parish boundary in November 2012. The Neighbourhood Area was approved by Cherwell District Council, the local planning authority, on 7 June 2013. 2.3 Initial public meetings were held at St Mary’s Church in November 2012 and at Christopher Rawlins School in February 2013 to inform villagers of the need for Adderbury to produce a Neighbourhood Plan and establish a vision of what our community wanted for Adderbury over the next 20 years. 2.4 After the November meeting, a steering committee was formed to manage the process of preparing ‘The Adderbury Plan’ (which became known as ‘TAP’). The committee, drawing on the services of a cross-section of residents, compiled a Residents’ Survey to give everyone (aged 11 and over) a chance to have their say on important aspects of village life. Teams of villagers (some 40 residents) came together to work on specific topics (Housing, Environment, Transport, etc.) to devise the questions that needed to be asked of the community. The survey was delivered to every home in the village with ‘street captains’ deployed to chase up residents who had not completed their survey. It was held in June 2013 and 1,090 residents representing 661 (59%) households responded. Full results of the TAP questionnaire are appended to this consultation statement in Appendix A. 2.5 In May 2013 a Business Survey was also carried out to elicit the future needs of Adderbury businesses. 70 businesses (77%) out of the 91 identified in the village responded. 2.6 Each of the topic teams then analysed the results, and, where possible, compared them with previous Adderbury community surveys (in 1994 and 2004) and with Census 2011 data for trends. The teams then put forward their proposals to go in the Plan together with a report of those results. 2.7 All of this work was distilled into a plan for the village including a set of village objectives: Protect and enhance the character and vitality of Adderbury Restrict new development to within current boundaries, and minimise the impact of new development on the village, the surrounding countryside, landscape and ecosystems Provide existing and future Adderbury residents with the opportunity to live in suitable homes Ensure Adderbury has and will continue to have the appropriate resources and services to support the size of village Encourage local employment and small-scale local businesses Protect our environment and support eco-friendly developments Control road traffic and reduce the need to drive by car around the village and to and from Adderbury Strengthen the leisure amenities available to villagers within Adderbury On the basis of the village responses and the proposals, a Draft Plan (which became ANP1) was prepared in draft in August 2013 (see Appendix B) for informal consultation. It was posted to the village websites with a printed copy available in Adderbury Library. Further consultation meetings for the community were held at St Mary’s Church and at Christopher Rawlins School in mid-September 2013. A flyer advertising the events is shown below. 3. Further Consultations (ANP1) 3.1 Between September 2013 and December 2015 a great deal of work was done on drafting a formal version of the Neighbourhood Plan (ANP1) and a Sustainability Appraisal (voluntarily, as the District Council had not issued a screening opinion requiring a Strategic Environmental Assessment). 3.2 The Pre Submission Plan (ANP1) was published for the statutory six week period in March 2015. The village magazine ‘Contact’ ran this in March 2015: Environment · Developments should be sympathetic to existing vernacular style of housing and the location of the site. · The protection and monitoring of walls, hedges and trees should be continued under the existing Conservation area legislation. · Where are we? - A design brief on the Built Environment has been Turning on the TAP included within the Plan together with a Statement of Community A major community survey in early 2013 led to The Adderbury Plan (TAP) being Consultation for Developers to follow. shared with our residents in August 2013. · The continued protection and monitoring of walls, hedges and trees under the existing Conservation Area legislation together with For the past 18 months the Parish Council has worked with the Adderbury development of wild life habitats has been included within the Plan. community, organisations and businesses to refine TAP to meet the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 and to produce a formal Neighbourhood Plan for the future of Adderbury.

  • Adderbury-PARISH-PLA
    Adderbury Parish Plan 2004-2014 October 2007 Introduction The Parish Council instituted a series of village appraisals in 1994 and 2004 as an opportunity for local people to get involved in prompting and prioritising self-help community initiatives and influencing local action. This Parish Plan stems directly from the appraisal work and its production was supported by the Oxfordshire Rural Community Council. The purpose of the plan is to: Present locally identified needs to the district and county councils. Inform the Parish Council on the aspirations of the local community. Influence the community in the part it plays. How this Parish Plan was developed The widest possible input has been sought from all sections of the community both in identifying the issues to be tackled and in proposing solutions. This plan identifies those features and local characteristics that our people value, and spells out how residents would like the community to develop in the future. Key steps have been: 1993 Parish Council set up an independent, objective steering committee to carry out a village appraisal. 1994: First Village Appraisal conducted. 2004: Second Village Appraisal conducted. Results of 2004 Village Appraisal published in September. Appraisal Steering Committee handed over its findings to a Parish Plan Steering Committee in November. 2007: Parish Plan Steering Committee reconstituted in January. Parish Plan published in October. How this Plan fits in with other Community Plans/Strategies Nationally, each parish has been encouraged to develop their own community plan. These parish plans provide invaluable information to the wider community planning process, and many local aspirations are already reflected in local community plans such as the Cherwell Community Action Plan 2006-2011.

Don Fletcher our Distribution Manager has asked me to write a note of thanks for two long serving Benson Bulletin deliverers who have been with us for a very long time, but have re- cently retired from the delivery team. Our thanks to Mrs Joyce Jones and her hus- band Ron for all the time and effort they have expended/spent/given to distributing the Ben- son Bulletin since May 2000 until March 2011 where they delivered Crown Lane and Buck- ners Close. They were also part of the ‘bundling’ process which means dividing the Benson Bul- letins into the different rounds, and tying them up with string for individual deliverers. There is a lot of work involved and we thank you for carrying it out for the past 11 years. Our thanks also to Mrs S. M. Barker who has been delivering the Benson Bulletin to the Mill Stream flats since February 2002, until March 2011. Thank you very much for helping us keep the Benson Bulletin going.
