•Update on draft Neighbourhood Plan
•Questions & Answers: with Leani Haim, our independent Planning Consultant
Update of the draft Neighbourhood Plan:
As consultation respondents overwhelmingly considered tight controls are essential to protect North Kingston's residential character therefore, the key objectives of the Neighbourhood Plan are:
To help meet local housing needs by directing new housing development to a small number of key sites and along key corridors.
To ensure North Kingston remains a desirable place to live by maintaining its essential suburban character and by successfully managing the transition between the growing town centre and the surrounding suburban area.
To help North Kingston adapt to climate change, including by way of new buildings designed for climate resilience and by protecting its important green spaces from development, and to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon emissions locally and delivering a net biodiversity gain from new development.
To ensure the long-term sustainability of North Kingston by protecting and improving its essential local retail, business and social facilities.
We will take this opportunity to summarise our policies and outline their implementation.
