Rectory Farm Workshop Meeting 5 April 7pm VC Hall

Posted on by under Community engagement, Meetings, News, Uncategorized

Following a selection process by Melton Borough Council the site of Rectory Farm has been designated a potential option in the Melton Local Plan Emerging Options (Draft) document.

We are fully aware that there may be some concerns over this in terms of sheer size, traffic, loss of view etc and the Agents for the scheme have offered a series of workshops to plan the development and to see how the impact on existing residents can be minimised. The workshops will be facilitated by Stefan Kruckowski, a lecturer at Notts-Trent University and a leading figure in his field.

The Bottesford Parish Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group fully support this move as it provides the best opportunity for the residents and the Steering Group to have a real impact on the master plan for the development. The scheme is in its very early stages so you can influence the design and layout.

There will be seven workshops, which will start in mid April and residents are invited along to the V C Hall on the Tuesday 5th April at 7pm to ask questions and for attendees to select delegates to attend these workshops to represent their neighbours.

The workshop dates are still to be decided but we will have a draft program by the 5th April.

All very welcome.

Thank you.

Richard Simon. Secretary BPNP Steering Committee
