Planning Matters

The Society keeps a watching brief on all planning matters that might affect our two villages and their environs. If anything comes to notice such as inappropriate changes to or use of a building or maybe concern over particular aspects of a proposed development then contact is made with the planning authority. In some cases such as the Rivenhall Waste Facility representation is made in person and also in conjunction with other groups.

In recent years the local villages have been heavily engaged in the work to develop new Local Plans. These documents are the framework behind which future developments from homes to sports facilities and transport are based. The Society has provided feedback on the draft documents and encouraged others to take part in the process.
