Updated Draft Wantage Neighbourhhood Plan
The Town Council has finalised updates to the draft Wantage Neighbourhood Plan. The original Plan was rejected by an inspector in 2016 relating to the proposed town centre and greenspaces policies. The updated Plan has been modified to amend or remove the policies that were deemed unacceptable. All other policies remain unchanged from the document published in 2016 and the updated version of the Plan published and informally consulted upon in November 2020. No new policies have been added. More information on the role of the Plan in the planning processes, and a copy of the updated Plan, can be accessed here.
The Town Council is now proceeding to formal consultations under Regulation 14 of The Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012. This commenced on 1 June 2022 and will end on 14 July 2022
The Town Council would welcome your comments and views on the various proposed policies. Responses to the consultation should be sent to the Town Council at its offices at The Beacon or email them to clerk@wantagetowncouncil.gov.uk . The publication is also accompanied by an online survey that can be accessed here.
Paper copies of the Plan and the survey are available from Council Offices between the hours of 9.30 am and 12.30 pm on each weekday. If you are unable to visit the offices during these hours, please call 01235 763459 or email as above to make alternative arrangements. The deadline for responding to the survey is Thursday 14 July 2022.
