BLUEPRINT EXTRA

Further to yesterday's posting about the importance of the Local Development Framework which will determine where North Lincolnshire Council says new housing belongs in Brigg, here's some useful information the planning authority has put in the public domain.

The Core Strategy DPD - Submission Draft has been published to allow representations to be made on its soundness. This is the most important document in the new Local Development Framework, which will be brought in over the next few years. It sets out the overall development strategy for North Lincolnshire up to 2026. This is the final opportunity for the community and important partners in the planning process to have their say before the document is submitted to the Government for an independent public examination. The development strategy set out in the Core Strategy DPD - Submission Draft is based on consultation carried at out at previously as well as the most up to date national and regional planning policy. It is also based on a comprehensive evidence base, which has been developed during the preparation of the Core Strategy.


The period for making representations runs from Monday, May 24 to Monday July 5, 2010. All representations should be submitted by 5pm on the final day. The Core Strategy DPD - Submission Draft and other associated documents can be viewed on the council's website or at Pittwood House, Scunthorpe, at "Local Links" (we think this includes Hewson House, Brigg) and branch libraries during normal opening hours.

And finally...An initial public consultation by North Lincolnshire Council showed 68 objections to housing on the York Road field and only two people in favour. I made my own views known that IF, and I say IF, there has to be housing on the site - a convenience shop would be useful to those living in this area of town, me included. There is a column headed "Other" on the chart of responses I'm looking at. Perhaps my suggestion is the "1" listed here!

MORE ON THIS IMPORTANT TOPIC TO FOLLOW OVER THE NEXT WEEK.
