Wootton Wawen Neighbourhood Plan
To ensure a sustainable village entity within the agreed Parish boundary, maintaining all those elements valued by the community and identified in the Village Appraisal, the Parish Plan and the recent survey.
Our Vision for Wootton Wawen
A Neighbourhood Plan requires appropriate, viable Policies which
– are consistent with the Planning Framework and the Local Plan (Core Strategy); based on a robust evidence base
– are clearly stated, against which Planning Applications can be properly judged
– identify what should/should not be permitted
– taken together, express a clear overall strategy
Suggested Policies
• Maintain the openness and key features of the landscape
• Ensure that any development is sustainable in terms of key services and transport accessibility
• No development – On the flood plain– On Scheduled Ancient Monument sites– Within the Conservation Area– West of the railway line (SDC requirement)– Outside the current built-up area
Suggested Policies (continued)
• Give priority to developments on brown-field sites• Minimise impact of development on wild-life
habitats• Aim for developments that will enhance the
landscape and improve services in the village• Housing must provide a good mix of family and
affordable homes• House design/specifications should meet latest
National/SDC standards
