Draft Handbridge Neighbourhood Plan public consultation

The Handbridge Neighbourhood Forum has launched a public consultation on the draft Handbridge Neighbourhood Plan with a deadline of 30 June 2024 for comments.

The consultation is required under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (Regulation 14) and following feedback and scrutiny a final version of the plan will then go to local referendum.

The draft plan contains 13 proposed planning policies that must be considered for any new developments in Handbridge.

These policies are: (1) local nature network, (2) local green spaces, (3) incidental open spaces of community value, (4) sustainable transport, (5) sustainable travel network, (6) parking, (7) design, (8) key views, (9) local heritage assets, (10) local historic landscapes, (11) local landmarks, (12) land east of Queen’s Park High School, and (13) commerce.

There are five supporting documents: (a) Handbridge Design Guidelines, (b) Protecting & Enhancing Handbridge’s Natural Environment, (c) Handbridge Residents Survey Report, (d) Handbridge Census Report, and (e) Handbridge Local Green Space Evaluation.

Visit the documents area of this website at https://handbridgeneighbourhoodplan.co.uk/documents/ to download the documents.

Please then email handbridgeforum@gmail.com by 30 June 2024 with any comments.
