Last opportunity to have your say: 30 January to 14 March 2023

9/1/2023

1 Comment

 

Between 30 January and 14 March 2023, all stakeholders in the Parish will be asked to feedback on the latest version of the plan for the final time before a yes/no vote whether to accept it.

The content of this draft T&H Neighbourhood Plan has been based on comments and feedback made during earlier consultation events. We are now seeking your feedback on this version of the Neighbourhood Plan to ensure it accurately reflects the views of the Parish. 
 
This is the last opportunity to have your say and your feedback will be taken on board before a final version of the Plan is submitted to the South Cambridgeshire District Council in Month YY for independent examination. 
 
If the Council accept it, you will be asked to vote on it in a yes/no referendum later in the year. If there is a 50% vote in favour of the Plan, it will be adopted by the District Council with immediate effect and carry full weight in the determination of planning applications in our parish.

Neighbourhood Masterplan by AECOM for Heathfield Enhancement

26/9/2022

1 Comment

 
AECOM has been commissioned, using grants funded by local government, to provide design support to  the Thriplow and Heathfield Neighbourhood Planning Group through the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities funded Neighbourhood Planning Programme, led by Locality.

This document is intended to support Neighbourhood Plan policies that encourage high quality design. It includes analysis of character areas within the built-up part of the Heathfield and provides a series of recommendations, in masterplan form, to improve the public realm and overall appearance of Heathfield.

The ideas in the report can be used as a basis for further engagement with the local community. They do not in themselves constitute part of the Neighbourhood Plan. It is hoped that they will stimulate broader discussion about how the area can be improved for the benefit of all.
​
This document comprises: 
  • Contextual analysis of the settlement of Heathfield, highlighting key external features, such as connections, views and sensitive environmental features, that may influence the site wide constraints and opportunities of the public realm improvements proposed in the masterplan.
  • Identification and analysis of different character areas within Heathfield, highlighting defining characteristics, such as architectural periods, building typologies, and street and parking approaches.  From this analysis, a series of constraints and opportunities are identified to inform an appropriate design response in the masterplan. 
  • Neighbourhood masterplan for Heathfield suggesting and illustrating achievable design solutions in response to the previously identified constraints and opportunities. The design rationale focuses on the following themes which have been established by the Neighbourhood Planning Group through previous public consultation.
1.    Green space, biodiversity and sustainable connections
2.    Streets and parking
3.    Identity and unity
4.    Community facilities
  • Next steps with a summary of the findings and outlined methods to move forward.

This statement sets out the reasons for the determination that the draft Thriplow Neighbourhood Plan requires a Strategic Environmental Assessment. In addition, this statement determines that the making of the Thriplow Neighbourhood Plan is not likely to have a significant effect on a European site either alone or in combination with other plans and projects. 

This determination statement is intended to demonstrate that the Thriplow Neighbourhood Plan is compatible with certain European Union obligations as required by the basic conditions, namely: 
  • Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment; and
  • Article 6(3) and (4) of the EU Habitats Directive and with Regulation 61 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended).

Thriplow Parish Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council have published this determination statement in accordance with the regulatory requirements.

July 2021 update

19/7/2021

1 Comment

 
Since the public consultation in February 2020, the neighbourhood plan group (NPG) have been working with a neighbourhood planning consultant and chartered landscape architect to progress the neighbourhood plan.

The NPG are currently working on:
1. The assessment of potential sites for future housing development (site allocation)
2. A Heathfield enhancement plan
3. Writing the draft Neighbourhood Plan


We are still developing our evidence around potential sites which we intend to allocate for development and we are still considering appropriate enhancement measures in Heathfield. We are now undertaking community engagement on these topics to help us complete the drafting of the neighbourhood plan.

Once we have completed all the content for the neighbourhood plan, we will undertake a formal consultation with residents, local stakeholders and statutory consultees for a minimum period of six weeks. We expect this to take place later this year. Following that, we will revise the plan in light of all feedback and submit it to South Cambridgeshire District Council who will then publish the plan for a further round of consultation and appoint an independent examiner to assess the plan.  

Subject to a successful examination, every resident in the parish will be given a final say on the plan in a parish-wide referendum. If more than 50% of those who participate cast a vote in favour of the plan, the Thriplow & Heathfield Neighbourhood Plan will be adopted by South Cambridgeshire District Council. With immediate effect it will then carry full weight in the determination of planning applications in our parish.

Sites for development

In 2020, the NPG sent out a ‘call for sites’ to identify land that might be open for future housing development. A total of five sites were identified – four in Thriplow Village and one in Heathfield. These included the two sites which have recently applied for planning permission, namely the Grain Store and Rectory Farm sites. 

Our planning specialist and landscape architect put all the sites through a comparative site assessment to gauge their suitability. We will shortly be sending out a leaflet asking for further detail of your views on these proposed sites.
