NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN UPDATE – September 2017
Dear Residents
We are continuing to analyze the results of the 450 Household Survey returns we have received. There is a huge amount of material to look at, and its pleasing to see that every road in the Parish has responded. Once we have carried out some first cut assessments of the data, we will be handing this over to AECOM, our consultants to produce a report setting out the main findings of residents views and preferences in more detail. This will be a key part of the evidence base which will underpin and shape the Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan.
We will also be making the Household Survey prize draw now in early September - so watch this space for the winners ! It may be YOU !!!!
The work on developing the first draft of the Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan is accelerating, and we now have a target date to go to a referendum on the Plan in May 2019

The Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan is your opportunity to have a say on how Limpsfield should change over the next 20 years.
Neighbourhood planning was introduced in 2011 through the Localism Act.
Neighbourhood planning allows local residents and businesses to have their own planning policies in a neighbourhood plan that reflects their priorities, delivers tangible local benefits and has real weight in planning decisions.
A neighbourhood plan is an important document with real legal force, therefore there are certain formal procedures that it must go through.
The Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan, will take into account the local character and attributes of Limpsfield.
Following public consultation, a referendum of all Limpsfield residents and a review by an independent Government Inspector, the Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan will become a legally binding document.
This has to be taken into account by Tandridge District Council and Government Planning Inspectors when approving future changes or development in Limpsfield.
The Limpsfield Neighbourhood Plan will influence local planning as to the character, concentration and location of any new houses, the protection of green spaces and Green Belt.
It will also ensure that the local need for changes in infrastructure and certain public services are properly and formally communicated.
Limpsfield Parish Council is responsible for the Neighbourhood Plan process. The parish council has set up a Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group and four Topic Groups that consists of parish councillors and members of the community.
The Topic Groups will cover:
There will be a public consultation process during the Neighbourhood Plan preparation and every Limpsfield resident will have the opportunity to vote on the plan before it can be adopted.
