RESIDENTS TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON THE DRAFT UTTOXETER NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN:
The Uttoxeter Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to all local residents and stakeholders who have attended consultation events and provided their feedback on what they feel are the key issues in Uttoxeter that the Plan should tackle.
The group has now produced a first complete draft of the Uttoxeter Neighbourhood Plan. It contains planning policies specifically designed for the town and intended to help achieve the aspirations to make sure that Uttoxeter is the best it can be.
THE SIX WEEK CONSULTATION PERIOD BEGINS ON MONDAY 15THÂ FEBRUARY:
The Uttoxeter Draft Neighbourhood Plan will be subject to 6 weeks’ consultation beginning on the 15th February 2016. The consultation period will end at 5pm on 28th March 2016 and any submissions after this time will not be considered.Â
Respondents may leave comments on any / all of the policies and may do so as part of one submission but each separate comment must be clearly indicated. All comments will be recorded and reported to the Steering Group as part of the ongoing process. All personal information collected as part of this process will be used solely for the Uttoxeter Neighbourhood Plan and will not be sold or passed to third parties beyond the Town Council and the Local Planning Authority.
