The parish council accepts the inevitability of modest development in our parish.

The council will strive to obtain the maximum positive influence with the planning bodies over the longer term.

To this end the council should adopt a reasoned and consistent policy towards new developments.

Within those constraints the parish council will specifically oppose developments that do not reflect and preserve the character of the area.

We also recognise that we are a low sustainability area with minimal infrastructure.

The parish council will oppose any extensions to the current policy boundaries within the parish.

Our approach is generally to take a neutral approach to planning applications, and to object if they conflict with planning policy or the guidelines in the Village Design Statement.
