Policies Map Submission Draft Pebworth Parish Neighbourhood Plan |4 1.0 Background 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 introduced significant reforms to the planning system in England; it gave local communities more say in shaping future development in their area. The most significant reform gave local parish councils the power to prepare a neighbourhood plan. 1.2 In 2013 Pebworth Parish Council applied to designate the whole parish as a Neighbourhood Area and successfully bid for funding from the Government to help prepare a Neighbourhood Plan. 1.3 A Neighbourhood Plan produced and agreed by the people who live in Pebworth, gives us a very strong say in the future development of the parish. A Neighbourhood Plan, once adopted, becomes part of the statutory “Local Development Plan” alongside the South Worcestershire Development Plan. This means that planning decisions in the parish must be taken in accordance with the Neighbourhood Plan. 1.4 To guide the preparation of the Plan we asked volunteers to join a Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group; this included local residents and parish councillors. The process has been overseen by independent planning consultants Brodie Planning Associates (BPA) appointed by the Parish Council to provide professional planning advice. 1.5 Throughout the Plan preparation process the steering group has attempted to involve all members of our community to gain a full picture of the issues affecting them. We have gathered information through focussed discussion groups, a residents’ questionnaire which went to everyone in the parish, a short survey at the Party in the Park and a housing site options survey delivered to every home. We wanted to be confident that we were developing a Plan that was supported by the community. We have also published regular updates in the Pebworth Petrus to try and keep residents up to speed with Plan developments. 1.6 This is the Submission Draft of Pebworth Parish Neighbourhood Plan. It sets out what the residents have told us over the past two years and translates that into a vision for the future of the parish some broad objectives which we think will help achieve the vision and a set of policies and actions which will make the vision a reality. 1.7 Since carrying out the Regulation 14 Consultation in the summer of 2018 some changes have been made to the Plan and all comments made have been responded to; these are published in the accompanying Consultation Statement. Submission Draft Pebworth Parish Neighbourhood Plan |5 1.8 This Plan will now be the subject of a further statutory six week consultation period undertaken by Wychavon District Council. Once complete an independent examiner will be appointed to consider the Plan and any representations made during this consultation stage. The independent examiner’s task is limited to considering whether the Plan meets the basic conditions. A Plan must: conform with EU and UK law; conform with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF); be in general conformity with the strategic policies of the Local Development Plan, the South Worcestershire Development Plan (SWDP) 2016, and contribute to sustainable development. 1.9 The independent examiner will prepare a report that can recommend that the Plan proceeds to local referendum; proceeds to local referendum with appropriate modifications; or does not meet the basic conditions and should not proceed to referendum. 1.10 Assuming it proceeds to referendum, Wychavon District Council will organise for a parish referendum to take place. If the referendum vote is in favour of the Plan, it will become part of Wychavon District’s statutory Development Framework and guide development in the parish from 2018 to 2030, which means it must be taken into account when planning applications and appeals are determined in the parish.

Home Choice Plus is a way of allocating housing and advertising other housing options across the participating Local Authority areas. (Home Choice Plus will also be used for advertising other housing options such as private rents and intermediate rents). This booklet explains how to look for housing across all of the Districts involved in this scheme. Please see website for further information. Who is eligible to join the Home Choice Plus register? • Some people travelling to the United Kingdom are not entitled to Housing Association accommodation on the basis of their immigration status. • You may be excluded if you have a history of serious rent arrears or anti social behaviour.

In Britain, as in their other provinces, the Romans constructed a comprehensive network of paved trunk roads (i.e. surfaced highways) during their nearly four centuries of occupation (43 - 410 AD). This article focuses on the ca. 2,000 mi (3,200 km) of Roman roads in Britain shown on the Ordnance Survey's Map of Roman Britain.[1] This contains the most accurate and up-to-date layout of certain and probable routes that is readily available to the general public. The pre-Roman Britons used mostly unpaved trackways for their communications, including very ancient ones running along elevated ridges of hills, such as the South Downs Way, now a public long-distance footpath.
