NQR Neighbourhood Plan 2
A refresh of the Neighbourhood Plan including new site allocations and policies is in progress
The new Local Plan initially sought two sites totalling 412 houses. However at the latest 'Regulation 19' stage that was dropped in favour of a figure of 300 dwellings, to be allocated by the Neighbourhood Plan.
The Steering Group is reviewing revised site scenarios following the reduction in the housing requirement. It has also responded to the Regulation 19 consultation. The responses go to the Inspector(s) for the Local Plan
Some policies need to be clarified in the light of use, others updated for changes, and new policies and site allocations made. Policies drafted include on river pollution from sewage works, light pollution, Local Green Spaces and gated communities. A Master Plan including improved medical provision and Early Years provision is being considered
Current Plan successes
The current Plan was 'made' by UDC on 28th June 2021. It carries full weight for 5 years and is part of the Local Plan.
The plan policies have supported 3 new housing developments in Newport and Quendon amounting to over 100 new homes. These have netted over £6 million of benefits to the community including affordable housing, new footpaths, land and a car park for the primary school and also a new playground, and funding for a parking and traffic safety report, which resulted in a Highways project. The policies have also supported the dismissal of 19 appeals relating to smaller scale applications. The development plan policies have been highly beneficial to the villages and are strongly supported by the communities in the plan area.
