Members are asked to consider if there is a need for the Town Council to prepare and produce a Neighbourhood Plan for Edenbridge. This would need significant financial and staffing resources, and producing a plan can take several years. There are grants available to apply for which can help towards consultants' costs and specialist reports, however, the Council would have to commit funds as well.
Examples of Neighbourhood Plan costs: Sevenoaks District Council £100,000 (adopted May 2023); Swanley Town Council £50,000 (up to its Reg 14 March 2023); Lingfield Parish Council £20,000 (getting up to Reg.14).
The Localism Act 2011 introduced the powers for neighbourhood planning. The general recommendation is that neighbourhood plans are reviewed every five years to remain valid. Should Members wish to explore further as a Council project it could be part of the Council's Visioning/Forward Plan, and would need any financial commitment included in any future budgets.
Do Members want an Edenbridge Neighbourhood Plan, and make recommendation to the Visioning/Forward Planning in September to consider as part of the Council's future projects and budgets?
Lingfield is situated to the South West of Edenbridge accessed via Haxted Road or Marsh Green Road. There are 15 development sites included in its site assessment, an initial look would indicate minimal impact for Edenbridge. However, Land off Lingfield Common Road (LIN 017), which leads on to Haxted Road was considered as not suitable. Land at the rear of Knights Mead (LIN 034) which has close to access to Lingfield Common Road/Haxted Road has an amber yes.
Do Members want to submit any comments?
