Planning applications do take time to process and until very recently we were not sure that this project was going to happen. However, as you may have seen on this website, the SNC planners have now indicated they will use delegated authority to give FWP Ltd approval to proceed with their planning application.
Finally we are able to think about about the anticipated community project: the development of The Farthings. You will have seen in the planning application the first plan for this space. Now we need to define what that space will look like upon its legal transfer to the Parish Council and then to discuss what could be done subsequently to develop The Farthings into a valuable community asset.
You are invited to the first of a series of meetings of the Farthings Community Group. This will define how the community is to use this land and create plans to achieve these aims. These will address
- Background
- The Farthings Community Group
- Shaping The Farthings for transfer as Community Owned Land to Parish Council
- List community objectives / projects (short, medium and long term)
- Personal commitment(s)
One meeting was held on 8 October in the Village Hall. The next 3 meetings, to develop this further, are scheduled for Monday evenings at 7.30pm on 14th, 21st and 28th October.
You are invited to attend.
Your ideas and comments are welcomed and can be presented in person or to:
