KINGSWEAR NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN (KNDP)

By drawing up this Neighbourhood plan we hope to establish a framework for planning and development in our area.

Everyone in the community will be able to have a say in the content of the plan which will cover such things as housing, commercial development, roads, public spaces, health, transport, access and parking. The aim is to develop planning policies which if supported by the local community at a referendum will have legal weight and will be taken into consideration when future planning decisions are made.

A Plan cannot conflict with policies in the wider South Hams Local Plan, or propose less development than is set out in the Local Plan or be in breach of national planning laws.

Kingswear Parish Council has submitted their Neighbourhood Plan proposal to South Hams District Council for their designated Neighbourhood Development Plan Area, in accordance with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended).

South Hams District Council will formally consult on this document for a period of 6 weeks from Monday 1st June 2020 to Monday 13th July 2020.

The consultation will take place during a period when Government restrictions relating to COVID 19 will be in place. The Government have issued guidance regarding consultation process during these difficult times which can be accessed on the following link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/neighbourhood-planning–2#covid-19

Having considered this advice South Hams Council, following discussions with Kingswear Parish Council, have decided to proceed with this consultation.
