The first Neighbourhood Panning Workshop held in the Biggin Hall on 28 November – and was a huge success with the hall full of local people sharing their detailed knowledge of Dover and thoughts about how to make the Town a better place to live and work.
Planning experts explained how Neighbourhood Plans can benefit Dover – giving local people a chance to develop a vision for the future over the next 20 лет, decide where they would like new development, what new infrastructure (such as roads) is needed, and plan support and community facilities for the lives they want to live.
The meeting broke into smaller groups to consider themes in detail including
- Local Communities, health and wellbeing
- Meeting housing need
- Design and Character of the Town
- Port, transport and infrastructure
- Opportunities in Tourism, employment, education and training
- Environment, recreation and open spaces
Strong opinions were expressed all round and the feedback session was lively as different views and experiences were debated and everyone had a chance to contribute and be heard.
планирование соседства дает общинам возможность взять на себя ведущую роль в производстве части плана развития своей области - План соседства является юридическим документом и должен использоваться при принятии решения о приложениях планирования. It can make a real difference in the fight against poor quality development such as conversions of large properties into too many tiny flats that are primarily aimed at making profit for the developer.
The Plan will make sure that future development in Dover is
- вибрирующий, привлекательным и хорошо продуманы
- в общественных интересах балансирования социального, экономические и экологические аспекты
The Town Council is co-ordinating and supporting the making of the plan but you – местное сообщество – решить, что вы хотите для Dover. Люди со страстью, enthusiasm and knowledge of the Town are vital part of the process.
Making a good Neighbourhood Plan needs everyone to contribute their ideas, надежды и видение Dover - так процесс дает достаточно времени и возможностей для всех, чтобы участвовать.
More events are planned. The next workshop will be at the Dover Disability Forum and a Questionnaire will be sent out at the end of February.
