A group of local volunteers in conjunction with Alderton Parish Council and with assistance from Tewkesbury Borough Council have been developing a Neighbourhood Development Plan for Alderton Parish over the last 2 years – the Alderton NDP. You can read the draft Alderton NDP by clicking here.
Neighbourhood Planning gives communities the right to shape development at a local level. Neighbourhood development plans do not prevent development but do give the local community the power to develop a shared vision for the locality including where and how it should develop. The NDP therefore adds all-important local detail to the wider Borough Plan.

Environment Assessment Determination - 30/10/15
In accordance with Regulation 9 of the SEA Regulations 2004, the Parish Council, as the responsible authority, has determined that an environmental assessment of the emerging Alderton Neighbourhood Plan is not required as it is unlikely to have significant environmental effects. In making this determination, the Parish Council has had regard to Schedule 1 of the Regulations and has carried out consultation with the consultation bodies (Historic England, The Environment Agency and Natural England). The determination was made at the Parish Council meeting on 20th October 2015. This document, along with the comments made by the Consultation bodies, is available to download and view via the link below and is also displayed on the parish noticeboards. Copies may also be obtained, free of charge, from the Clerk to the Parish Council email: tamsin.james1@btinternet.com

How do you create a Neighbourhood Development Plan? |
Where are we now? |
|
These rights cannot be achieved without consultation. An NDP has to demonstrate that it reflects community views and has community backing. That is why we needed your support at different points during the development of the Plan, and will do so again when the draft plan is opened up for two 6-week public consultations – first locally then via Tewkesbury Borough Council.
The Plan may be amended in the light of representations made during these public consultations before it goes to examination by an independent examiner. The final stage is the Parish referendum. If the Plan passes all these stages, it is declared “made” at which point it provides additional statutory guidance for any development in the Parish in addition to the Tewkesbury Borough Plan. |
At the end of 2015, we are preparing the ANDP for public consultation and submission to Tewkesbury Borough Council. Having submitted a draft of the Plan for screening by Tewkesbury Borough Council and key statutory consultees and received their feedback, the Parish Council made a determination in October 2015 that no SEA/HRA assessment is needed before the Plan can proceed.
