March Update <\/strong>
\nThe steering group has reviewed all the feedback\u00a0received\u00a0regarding the policies and revised them where necessary\u00a0and can now confirm that all Policies are agreed and are therefore adopted as below;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

A1\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
Protect the fabric and setting of Sherington Parish Heritage and Community assets, as listed in Schedules X and Y of the Plan, and updated from time to time. Planning applications which cause any degradation in the fabric, setting or enjoyment of these assets will be resisted.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Historical buildings and features (to be defined further but including)
\nSt Lauds Church, the Knoll, the White Hart, Historical open land at the heart of the Medieval\u00a0 village, Bancroft Field, Manor Moat, Church Fields, The Laurels, Mercers Farm House, Yew Tree Farm, The Swan, Lines Thatched Cottage, Civil War Land in Gun lane.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Business<\/strong><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
B1.<\/strong> Encourage and support existing and appropriate new, small scale industries to thrive in Sherington Parish.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Applicants will be expected to discuss matters of design and integration, within the village, with the Parish Council beforehand. In addition a brief, illustrative, non-commercially sensitive business model will be required to demonstrate sustainability.\u00a0 In particular the Neighbourhood Plan will support applications to change land use or use of buildings to accommodate existing businesses experiencing growth or displaced by development elsewhere in the Parish.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Housing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
H1. Support sensitive, compliant small scale housing development of between 20 and 24 new dwellings.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
H2. Ensure that new housing developments are of a scale that can reasonably be expected to become an integral part of the village. Only individual developments of up to 12 dwellings will be supported.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A priority should be to deliver small affordable starter homes to achieve a more balanced community mix rather than an emphasis on larger properties.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
H3.<\/strong> Require prospective Developers to engage in constructive dialogue with the PC, early in the process of formulating their plans to ensure that proposals fully reflect the wishes of the community as set out in the NP. To facilitate this it will be necessary for Developers to submit pre-applications before submitting formal applications.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Where planning gain is required or offered a voluntary ‘Heads of Terms Agreement’ needs to be in place to ensure that the benefit can be captured by the village, without dispute, on implementation of a relevant planning permission.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Heritage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
SH1. Designate the fields (shown on map below<\/em>) which constitute the Historic Green Heart of Sherington as a Green Space, excluded from any form of built development. The Local Green Space will be delivered and implemented in the context of NPPF (paragraphs 76 and 77). Furthermore the Parish Council will actively support and encourage the improvement of the Local Green Space, with the collaboration of the land owner(s), where appropriate.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Policy SH1 has been significantly informed by authoritative independent, advice and guidance. Which includes:<\/em>
\n– Recent, detailed location specific study by MKC planners<\/em>
\n– Village Plans and Character Studies dating back to 1974<\/em>
\n– Planning history of the whole area dating back some 50 years<\/em>
\n– English Heritage Statement \u2013 Article 4 Direction and Heritage<\/em><\/p>\n

Using all these policies we have begun to assess the sites available in the village towards allocating sites via the Neighbourhood plan.
\nInitial findings below in no particular order
\nThis is ongoing work <\/strong>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We will be using these initial results as our starting point to investigate further, in priority order, those sites that are, according to criteria, suitable for development.<\/p>\n

These will also be filtered through Infrastructure and Ecology to ensure suitability and sustainability is robust in its application.<\/p>\n

Next Steps:<\/strong>
\nWill see the site allocation task force, a sub group of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group,\u00a0scheduling meetings with all interested parties. Giving them the opportunity to\u00a0submit their plans, this will then be factored into the next step\u00a0in the site allocation process.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Neighbourhood Plan IS A LEGAL FORCE that Milton Keynes Planning and developers\u00a0have to take it into account!!<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
