Noticeboard - for the latest Parish Council information.

Neighbourhood Plan for Doddinghurst.

Posted here on the 1st March 2012. The Parish Council has established a steering committee to direct the work of developing a Neighbourhood Plan for the Parish of Doddinghurst, if you are not sure where the parish boundary runs please click here for a map to see what area is affected. It will take a little time but all the available information will be published on this website and the consultation process will involve everyone in the Village/ Parish as part of a Community Engagement programme. It's a new concept and turning out to be very complex and will take a lost of time to complete (maybe 2 to 3 years) and the Neighbourhood Plan must gel with the Brentwood Local Plan - due for publication later this year. At its heart the plan is a statement of land use and, if approved and adopted, will be a very powerful document in determining how the village will be allowed to develop and look in 20 years time. It is important to know that no-one on the steering committee has any land (save their own homes) or business interests in building and development and at the end of the day the content of the Neighbourhood Plan will be determined by the collective view of the people of Doddinghurst. The "Plan" will be a document containing perhaps 20 to 30 pages including maps, not a single drawing as the word "plan" might imply, so don't expect to see a something that looks like a set of building drawings! We are being supported by Brentwood Borough Council and have received government funding to cover the costs of work we will have pay for such a an independent inspection of the plan and village referendum. Our mapping is covered by the relatively new arrangement with Ordnance Survey called the Public Sector Mapping Agreement for which the Parish Council licence number is 0100046825.
