A Neighbourhood Planning Workshop – Everybody Welcome
A Neighbourhood Planning Workshop is being held on Thursday morning 29th November 10 til 12.30 at the Biggin Hall behind the Town Council offices in Dover. Come along to share your ideas with others about how Dover could be made better over a cup of tea and a biscuit. The best plans are made when we all get together, bringing our experiences of the past and hopes for the future to the table.
A Steering Group of local voluntary organisations, businesses and public service providers has got things going but now we need everyone to get involved with the main bulk of the work – gathering evidence and sharing experiences and ideas about how Dover can be a better place to live and work.
What is Neighbourhood Planning?
Neighborhood planlægning giver fællesskaber en chance for at tage føringen i at producere en del af udviklingsplanen for deres område - et kvarter Plan er et juridisk dokument og skal anvendes, når der træffes beslutning om planlægning applikationer.
The rules around planning and development have changed. There is increased pressure to develop more housing across the country and national planning policy is generally in favour of sustainable development. Dover District Council is responsible for deciding on overall levels of development and granting legal planning permissions for Dover Town as well as in Deal, Sandwich og landdistrikter sogne i Dover område de. The Town Council comments on all Planning Applications in the Town but has no powers to prevent poor quality development such as conversions of large properties into too many tiny flats that are primarily aimed at making profit for the developer.
En Neighborhood Plan for Dover Town vil bidrage til beslutningsprocessen og bidrage til at sikre, at den fremtidige udvikling er
· vibrant, attraktivt og godt designet
· in the public best interest balancing social, økonomiske og miljømæssige hensyn
The Town Council will co-ordinate and support the making of the plan but you – the local community – decide what you want for Dover. People with passion, entusiasme og viden om byen kan gøre en reel forskel og ændre tingene til det bedre.
Making a Neighbourhood Plan needs everyone to contribute their ideas, hopes and vision for Dover – so the process gives plenty of time and opportunity for everyone to get involved.
Ved afslutningen af processen planen vil blive undersøgt uafhængigt af en planlægning inspektør og derefter sat til afstemning i en lokal folkeafstemning for at være helt sikker på, at den siger, hvad du - folk i Dover - ønsker det at sige. Everyone who lives, works or represents an organisation delivering a service in Dover is welcome.
