Shepway are developing their LDF, and recruited ‘Urban Initiatives’ to develop a master plan for Sellindge, taking into consideration local opinion, which will go towards their LDF. The LDF is a 15 year strategy and will form how housing/land will be used. Once this is created and agreed upon then any new housing development needs to comply with it. Some housing development is going to happen over the years regardless of what we may all want.
If we want things like a Village Green then now is the time to shout loudly!! What is decided during the coming days will affect this Village for generations to come. You can still make your voices heard and influence the future via Shepway's LDF. In this way, we can influence what will happen. We need to make sure they listen to OUR views - please return your questionnaire now.
Why the urgency? We need to inform Urban Initiatives of the local views so Urban Initiatives take these into account when presenting ‘the preferred option’ to the Village, at the Village Hall, on Friday pm 10th and all day Saturday 11th December for consultation. Urban Initiatives and Sellindge need you to be there to give your views on their plans!!
To obtain blank questionnaires for you, your household and your neighbours, view the 5th coloured Section "Recent Updates" in the right-hand column, clicking on the 5th link down and print the blank form. Once completed by hand, please just return them to Potten Farm or the Co-op.
If it is easier, send an email to:
simply providing the answers to all the questions in the following way, for example:
Q1 - Sellindge or Other
Q2 - yes, no or don't know
etc
Please keep them coming - we need all your local views!!
