The Neighbourhood Plan Will Affect YOU

The Neighbourhood Plan will mean that:
  • WE WILL HAVE A CO-ORDINATED AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTED APPROACH TO ALL PLANNING MATTERS, HOUSING LAND ALLOCATION, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND RELATED INFRASTRUCTURE
  • WE WILL ENSURE THAT THE TOWN GROWS AND DEVELOPS IN A WAY THAT BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY THAT LIVE AND WORK HERE
  • WE WILL RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL 10% FROM THE COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE LEVY (C.I.L) 

The first Preliminary Mapping and Land Allocation public consultation events took place on 30 April and 1 May and it became evident that further opportunities were needed for the residents of Framlingham to consider the possibilities for the future development in the town.

We can't stress enough how important this public consultation is for the future of the town. This is your chance to view and comment on sites the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Committee have identified as being suitable for development 
before the plan is drafted. So please encourage friends and neighbours to study the Preliminary Mapping and Land Allocation, and fill in the feedback forms.

If we don’t speak now it will be too late.


Further Sessions planned 
Town Council Meeting Room,10 Riverside,Framlingham

A member of the Steering Team will be available at each session on the following dates to answer any questions regarding the Preliminary Mapping and Land Allocation.

Fairfield Road and Mount Pleasant APPEALS
Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon have submitted appeals against the North Area Planning Committee's decision. The documents are lodged with Planning Inspectorate waiting to be processed. Apparently the Planning Inspectorate (PI) have a backlog of up to 10 weeks and appeal details don’t appear on the PI website or notifications sent out until the appeals have been validated as procedurally correct, but SCDC have been advised by both companies that the appeals are in.

Both Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon are requesting Public Enquiries to be held in October but this date cannot be confirmed due to the backlog.

SCDC are engaging consultants to help them prepare the appeals and will ask for them to be held sequentially with the same inspector. SCDC will send out notifications of the appeals to all those who responded to the applications but won’t do this until they receive the official letter from Planning Inspectorate.
