decision under Regulation 19 whether to make the Neighbourhood Plan for North

December 17th 2021North Cadbury Neighbourhood PlanRegulation 15 ApprovedAfter 2 1/2 years of challenging work, a steep learning curve for the volunteer Neighbourhood Plan Working Group (NPWG) and patience from everyone in the Parish, the Neighbourhood Plan for North Cadbury and Yarlington (NC&Y) was submitted for consideration to the Parish Council at an Extraordinary Meeting on December 8th, 2021.
'Regulation 16' now follows, which is a 6-week consultation primarily between SSDC, statutory bodies and interested parties, after which an independent Government Examiner is appointed to inspect the plan. The final litmus test will be the referendum which will follow on from the examination.
The NPWG would like to wish you all a peaceful, and healthy Christmas and New YearNovember 24th 2021What have we been doing this month?Reg 15 Submission VersionDraft Neighbourhood Plan.As a response to the comments and suggestion gratefully received from residents on the Reg 14 Draft Neighbourhood Plan, we have made many changes and incorporated these into the Submission Reg 15 Draft PlanThis is now completed and will be presented to the Parish Council for approval on the 8th of December at North Cadbury Village Hall. If successful will then be submitted to SSDC Planning Authority for their consideration.It may be helpful at this stage to highlight some of the changes from the Reg 14 Draft Plan:
In response to comments from local residents we have added in the Sustrans cycle route and a walking route around Yarlington as important local recreational trails.
In response to comments from Natural England we have included more detail on the wetlands (or similar) requirements needed for any new residential to address the problems of waste water into the Somerset Levels and Moors Ramsar Site.
In response to concerns from local residents that the development next to Brookhampton would ‘creep’ further up Cary Road, we have included a Green Gap to stop any further development in the remaining area.
In response to concerns from local residents about the impact of the sites on local wildlife, the hedgerows and also flooding risk to other properties, we have clarified measures that will make sure that there will be no increase in run-off, and that the roadside hedgerows should be retained within the design.
In response to the Conservation Officer comments, the barns at Hill Farm and North Town would be retained and converted rather than including an option to allow their replacement, because they are of local historic interest.
There were objections to the two main site allocations, further checks were undertaken and where possible changes have been made to the plan to mitigate the concerns.OTHER KEY REPORTS: Contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the plan, explains how they were consulted, summarises the key issues and concerns raised and describes how these issues have been addressed where practical and relevant.When a neighbourhood plan is submitted to the LPA it needs to be accompanied by a statement which explains how the plan meets the legal requirements in terms of its contents and coverage, has regard to national policy and strategic policies in the development plan for the area and will contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.Three further documents (whose recommendations have been incorporated) address the sustainability issues of the plan: A significant range of other supporting documents can be found by clicking the INFORMATION and DOCUMENTS TAB at the top of this page then go to the 'Supporting Documentation' - 'Evidence Section' Further important documents only available online:Finally but importantlyThere is a lot to read here, so please try and attend the Parish Council meeting on the8th of December in North Cadbury Village Hall September 1st 2021Draft Neighbourhood Plan Public Consultation Regulation 14 is now CLOSED Thank you for responding to the Draft Neighbourhood Plan, we have received a significant number of responses which is great, and we are now busy analysing the results.

please find a summary of our findings in this link: Summary of Residents Options Consultations December 21st 2020Options Consultation HeadlinesWe promised to give you feedback before Christmas on the recent questionnaire. The headlines are below but we will follow this up with more detailed analysis in the New Year. Once again thank you to all who took the time to respond it was magnificent How many people responded?We had just over 460 people participating (taking into account whether responses were made individually or from households). The approximate breakdown by area was: North Cadbury 50% Woolston 11% Yarlington 9% Galhampton 30% We had a good response rate from each settlement, which has provided a good basis for our analysis The visionThought to be good or very good by about 4 out of 5 respondents with some further suggestions made that we will need to consider, such as placing more emphasis on improved facilities, and retention of the character of the area Approach on Housing Mix, Employment and FacilitiesOver 90% felt the findings were about right, not surprisingly however we received over 100 added comments particularly on Housing and certain facilities issues Sites for Housing and EmploymentA total of 8 sites were clearly supported by residents with another 5 locations having a borderline level of response. 7 of the sites were subject to outright rejection, with what could be described as an overwhelming level of opposition. We received a large number of responses to these questions which we will carefully consider. We have also had further contacts from landowners about their site options and possible changes, that we also need to consider. Once we have done this, our next step will be to discuss the possible site choices with SSDC in the New Year Local Green Spaces and Important ViewsGreen Spaces and Views are clearly very important to residents of the Parish with at least 80%, and sometimes nearly 100% of people saying these were very important. We had a large number of comments and suggestions to look through, and from this have identified at least 4 more locations to assess as local green spaces (we will try to contact the landowners of these sites), and at least 5 more views to consider Walking, Cycling & RidingWe sought to understand how well footpaths, bridleways, routes and cycleways were used. We have more than enough evidence to show that the routes we had identified were well used. As this was quite a high priority from the household survey we conducted in February we also wanted to know if you had any suggestions on new routes and where they might run. We had over 70 comments/suggestions which we are now sifting through! Anything else?We had just over 50 comments on other points to consider, which we will do. We also had a lot of complimentary and supportive comments, and some rightly challenging us to up our game in communicating plan progress going forward.
