Hauxley Neighbourhood Plan, Final Public Consultation

Draft Hauxley Design Code

As part of our work on the neighbourhood plan, the parish council obtained specialist support to allow the preparation of a design code for the parish.

The design code explains the important character of our parish and will be used to inform future development.

We would welcome any comments you may have on the draft design code docuent.

Please submit comments by email to hauxleynp@gmail.com by the 9th of August 2022.

The design code will be revised following feedback.

Hauxley Neighbourhood Plan – consultation on local green space and settlement boundaries

During September and October 2020, we asked for feedback on our vision, objectives, planning policy areas and themes for community actions.  We have reviewed the feedback and undertaken further work.  Before we prepare our draft plan, we need your comments on two key issues for the plan:

  • Areas to be protected as local green space; and
  • Settlement boundaries for Low and High Hauxley.

Residents should all have received a copy of a leaflet which provides a summary of our work on local green spaces and settlement boundaries

Full details are contained within two background papers:

  • Local green space
  • Settlement boundaries

We are holding a drop in event between 10.30am and 12.30pm on Sunday the 8th of May 2022, at Hauxley Village Hall, where you can come along and discuss the proposals in more detail.  There will be a presentation at 11am to explain more about neighbourhood planning as well as local green space and settlement boundaries.

Comments can be submitted in the following ways:

The response form can also be downloaded below.

We need your comments by 18 May 2022.

We will use your comments to inform a draft neighbourhood plan, which we hope to consult on in the summer.  The plan will be amended following feedback and it will be submitted to the county council who will arrange an independent examination.  There will then be a referendum and all those registered to vote within the parish will be able to vote on whether they support the plan.

UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who submitted comments.

Hauxley Neighbourhood Plan Vision and Objectives Consultation 2020

In January 2019 the parish council held a consultation day. The feedback from the local community has helped us to develop a draft vision and objectives for your neighbourhood plan, as well as identifying planning policy themes and other actions that could be addressed.

Now we need your views on our proposals to deliver the vision for Hauxley to inform the preparation of our draft neighbourhood plan.

Before consulting on a draft neighbourhood plan, we feel it is important to ask for further input from our community on the scope of our plan. A consultation document will therefore be delivered throughout the parish over the next week and an online version is available via the below link

https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/hauxley-ndp1

The document sets out the vision and objectives for the plan. It also proposes a possible planning policy approach that our plan could take. In addition, we have identified some projects that could help address the big issues.

The closing date for comments is 23rd October.

Hauxley Parish Neighbourood Development Plan - Consultation Day January 2019
